Management,
technology, information and process consulting
We
create for a client an 'as-is' profile of their existing drug discovery
processes, identifying strengths, weaknesses, critical bottlenecks and
areas for improvement. The focus areas include process flow,
decision-making processes, experimental methodologies, idea/result exchange,
utilization of data sources and technology, IT infrastructure, collaboration/partnership
approaches, etc.
Process
and management control enhancement
In
partnership, we can help re-engineer processes, decision-making, collaboration
and results-measurement to instill a new culture and approach, replacing
linear discovery and isolated, parallel efforts with a collaborative, portfolio
management-based approach.
Technology transfer/market positioning
We work with both technology companies as well as investment companies such as Avogadro Partners, LLC to evaluate and position IP assets and expertise relative to their technical merits and market possibilities. Critical to this is the ability to help find appropriate technology and/or investment partners either as a source for development capital or licensing/direct sales income.
Outsourced
informatics service and support
Startup
companies are usually hard pressed to design, implement, even hire for
the level of informatics support they require to be competitive.
We can provide management and application support as well as complete vertical
services integration.
Business
to business connectivity
There
are many forms of business to business connectivity that require specific
knowledge of data exchange protocols and procedures. discovery
biosciences has the experience and expertise to enhance the interchange of data between
collaborative partners and to deal with the wide variety of subscription
services used by its customers. This will include protocols for data
conversion between partners and the management of distributed data collection
in clinical trials and by Contract Research Organizations.
Employment
services
One
of the most frequent and taxing issues for companies is hiring the appropriate
in-house computational staff. discovery
biosciences can aid in the
evaluation of what expertise is needed as well as potentially headhunting
for those services.
Integration/Development
Support for Applied Biosystems 37XX Sequencer Data Utilities
We have been asked by
Applied Biosystems to be the official support site for individuals and
organizations developing software using the ABIF Toolkit. These utilities
provide direct programmatic access to the data coming from the ABIPrism series
of sequencers and fragment analysis devices.
