About Geospiza (http://www.geospiza.com/Company/default.shtml)
Geospiza is a leading developer of enterprise-class software systems
for workflow management of genetic analysis.
Geospiza has established itself as the life science industrys top
software developer for meeting the combined laboratory, data
management and analytical needs of biotechnology and pharmaceutical
companies, universities, researchers, contract core and diagnostic
laboratories involved in genetic testing and manufacturing bio-
therapeutics.
The life sciences field is rapidly evolving beyond sequencing genomes
for pure research to developing clinically relevant initiatives such
as understanding what genetic information is useful for drug
development, determining drug efficacy, toxicity screening and
diagnosing infectious agents.
This expansion of the field is resulting in a dramatic increase in the
amount of data that must be managed by genetic testing laboratories
and research institutions. Underscoring this growth is the desire by
the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the broader healthcare
community to match drugs more specifically to a person's individual
genetic profile. The FDA is expected to focus on the sensitivity and
accuracy of these new diagnostics, thereby increasing the need for
verifiable, repeatable processes for testing.
Today, the amount of manual work required to manage and make sense of
the vast amounts of genetic information being generated by clinical
and life science research laboratories worldwide is tremendous. In
order to be able to scale to meet this increased demand and scrutiny
in a cost-effective way, automated solutions are required.
Geospiza makes software for crunching the vast amounts of genetic
data. When a laboratory uses GeneSifter Lab Edition, they are able to
significantly increase capacity, reduce their backlog, eliminate
errors due to manual processes, and speed time to discovery. The
software is being used today worldwide by leading institutions and
laboratories for everything from clinical DNA testing and bio-
therapeutic manufacturing to contract core lab services and basic
research and discovery.
Geospiza's products are designed and built by biologists, enabling
researchers to focus on the science, not the software.
