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 industry’s 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.
