Michael Ball, CEO of GenoLogics, notes “The life sciences are undergoing a revolution as new technologies are applied to biological research, generating enormous amounts of complex scientific data. With a track record of success providing software systems to proteomics laboratories in North America to manage vast volumes of data, GenoLogics is well positioned to expand its international presence into Europe and introduce the latest version of ProteusLIMS to pharmaceutical and life science laboratories at the InfoTech Pharma / Pharma Solutions Expo.”

GenoLogics open bioinformatics software platform, purpose-built for proteomics research, integrates to all instruments, software tools and processes to fit with a laboratory’s current and planned IT infrastructure. ProteusLIMS improves data accuracy, traceability and reproducibility of results and is configurable to any workflow. The software provides the ability to automate and streamline lab processes to increase throughput, ensure quality and cost-effectively manage resources.

Kevin Jones, GenoLogics’ European sales manager, says “Our open architecture software platform meets customer needs because it is more than a laboratory workflow solution. With the ability to link all types of information including samples, tasks and scientific data for analysis and rapid reporting, the GenoLogics lab information management system transforms the data management process into a sophisticated analytical system that aids research and discovery.”

GenoLogics’ customers in North America include the Genome BC Proteomics Centre, Oregon Health Sciences University, the University of British Columbia and the University of Texas Medical Branch. All cite a strong partnership relationship with GenoLogics and the company’s responsiveness and technology leadership as important factors in their selection of GenoLogics.
