R&D informatics

We can help develop custom algorithms and apply machine-learning techniques to create an integrated and harmonized source of data. These solutions include:

  • Data integration and harmonization

  • Workflow solutions

  • Text-mining applications

  • Cheminformatics

Human brain technology

Risk analysis

Our custom reports answer key R&D and safety questions such as:

  • Which studies have been conducted for similar compounds and what were the findings?

  • What adverse events might occur based on molecular structure and class?

  • What are the most predictive preclinical species for understanding human toxicity?

  • What is the potential risk of litigation based on drug failure?

Target analysis

We help customers accelerate early discovery activities through access to critical disease and/or target overview information to prioritize research focus areas. We help you answer key research questions, such as:

  • Which diseases might this target treat?

  • What are the potential adverse events and drug interactions?

  • Are there known molecules likely to be test molecules?

  • What new target may exist to treat a specific disease with less side effects?

  • How does each target score based on pathway activation, gene expression, and an overall literature analysis?

Pathway analysis

Our team provides customers with a more thorough understanding of the chemical risk of a compound based on the analysis of biological pathways in the human body and underlying molecular mechanisms that cause complex diseases. We answer questions such as:

  • What are the key cells to target for a particular disease?

  • Which proteins are relevant in my disease of interest?

  • What are the biomarkers on the path to toxicity?

  • Which molecular mechanisms are linked to disease outcomes?

Drug repurposing decisions

We provide detailed custom reports and predictive analytics to support critical drug repurposing decisions. These solutions include:

  • Text mining for possible drug indications in the scientific literature

  • Prediction of new drug indications based on drug target biology and efficacy of other drugs in the same class

  • Scoring mechanism to identify most promising repurposing candidates

Disease-centric repurposing includes pathway analysis to identify:

  • Signaling affected in a disease

  • Compounds targeting proteins in the disease pathway

  • Known drugs to inhibit proteins
