Products Overview

Dramatic advances in technologies and techniques for acquiring, sequencing, and analyzing biological data have resulted in an explosion of valuable information. This new information being generated is of critical importance to biology, medical science, and drug discovery, but its scale and complexity are overwhelming researchers' ability to effectively utilize it. Moreover, biological data generated today are heterogeneous and extremely specialized, and thus cannot be easily searched using generic search engines. Finally, knowledge extraction is typically performed by a highly trained and often scarce resource, the bioinformatician. This approach is highly inefficient and inadequate for researchers looking to quickly, without assistance, leverage the knowledge and data that exist within their organizations as well as within the global community.

NextBio understands the challenges that are facing the life sciences industry and has developed a suite of products which allow researchers to extract knowledge from disparate biological, clinical, and chemical data, regardless of data type or origin. Using NextBio products, researchers are empowered to:

• Quickly access relevant, high quality information in seconds vs. weeks
• Search across and interrogate heterogeneous data types, not merely text
• Upload internal data and correlate it with a pre-existing pool of data in the community
• Discover actionable knowledge without needing an IT consultant or bioinformatician
• Communicate, collaborate, and share information with the research community

NextBio's Key Product Benefits

For the Researcher
NextBio allows researchers to easily access and query publicly available and internally-generated data to accelerate their own research efforts.

For the Bioinformatician
NextBio allows bioinformaticians to effectively exploit publicly available and internally-generated data to meet the growing needs of specific therapeutic groups, projects, and researchers that they support.

For Senior R&D Management
NextBio allows senior R&D management to increase research productivity, while decreasing research costs, by better utilizing publicly available experimental data and unlocking the value of past, current, and future internally-generated data. In addition, NextBio can help reduce the number of redundant experiments, improve the quality and design of future experiments, and dramatically increase collaboration and knowledge sharing across therapeutic and geographic groups within organizations.
