About Us

Semaphore (n.)

A signaling method used in programming and the real world to coordinate the operation of complex systems.

“We built Semaphore to provide labs with the informatics they deserve—solutions that don’t just fix problems but actually unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation.”

Peter Smith, Semaphore CEO & Founder

Our Story

Semaphore Solutions was founded in 2010 to solve complex, enterprise-level software problems. In our early work as the LIMS team for Illumina’s 100,000 Genome Project, we saw firsthand how critical lab informatics were to realizing the full potential of advanced scientific testing.

With our deep expertise at the intersection of software engineering, lab informatics, and high-throughput, highly-regulated lab environments, we pivoted Semaphore to address the lab informatics challenges faced by molecular DNA and clinical labs.

Semaphore has grown to offer end-to-end lab informatics consulting services to clinical, research, and life science labs, committed to engineering solutions that catalyze digital transformation and unlock your lab’s business potential.
