Enrich Your Discovery Data with Curated Biological Intelligence
Today, data drives drug discovery. You and your competitors now have an explosion of biological data available. But that vast assay of public data is only useful if you have the tools and IT resources to help you integrate, explore, and compare it against your in-house experimental results and clinical knowledge. So, you can verify the biological meanings underlying interesting patterns and findings in data visualizations to drive strategic decisions.
Jumpstart your transition into the age of drug discovery intelligence with a new visyn.
Empower your Discovery Team with knowledge
Designed to provide a rich foundation of discovery data for our Aevidence and Ordino platforms, our visyn Knowledgebase eliminates the painfully time-consuming process of searching for supporting data in too many places. Together with our pharma partners, we’ve identified, compiled, curated and integrated a core set of public data from more than 70 bioinformatics databases and disease-specific resources. We do all the data wrangling for you so you can focus on finding answers.
We regularly curate, integrate, and update the visyn Knowledgebase, so you always have access to the most current publically available biological evidence. And we provide universal tools that simplify import and integration functions, so you can further refine the knowledgebase and mold it to perfectly support your research focus.
