GoInformatics and TeselaGen to Partner on Scientific Data Management Solution
SOUTH BEND, Ind., and SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — GoInformatics (http://www.golims.com) and TeselaGen (http://www.teselagen.com) have announced a strategic partnership to offer a state-of-the-art Biological Design Automation and Scientific Data Management platform. With a secure repository to collect, organize, and store research information, the integrated cloud-based platform will enable scientists advance their research at a much faster pace. The cutting-edge biodesign automation tools will provide biologists the ability to engineer cells to more efficiently carry out desirable operations, such as producing medications and vaccines, better seeds and feed options, and converting plant material into high value chemicals and fuels.
Both TeselaGen and GoInformatics employ similar technology architectures that made the partnership a natural extension of each platform. GoInformatics will offer their GoLIMS platform as the infrastructure for research data collection and organization, intellectual property protection, and regulatory reporting. TeselaGen will offer its computer aided design and manufacturing platform for rapid prototyping biomolecules. The integration of GoInformatics LIMS with TeselaGen’s bioCAD/CAM platform will offer clients a comprehensive set of design, manufacturing and information management tools. Ultimately, the partnership provides researchers a cost-effective, premium cloud solution for R&D informatics.
“GoInformatics’ extensive experience in LIMS and ELN software solutions is a great pairing with our design automation solution,” said Michael Fero, CEO, TeselaGen. “Working with our customers in medical and industrial biotechnology, TeselaGen is building the IT backbone for the emerging field of synthetic biology. Through our close collaboration with industry we have built a very economical R&D infrastructure that adds a great deal of real-world value. We think the time is ripe for all of biotech to take advantage of advanced cloud-based tools for their high-value R&D and research CRO management activities. Byte for Byte we generate some of the most valuable data in the world, encoding the next blockbuster drug or high value chemical. Having a LIMS partner like GoInformatics with a nearly identical technology stack will make integration and security provisioning a much easier proposition.”
“TeselaGen’s experience and capabilities in automated biomolecule design are of enormous value to our clients and prospects”, said Chad Gregory, CEO, GoInformatics. “We work closely with biotech companies in RNAi therapeutics, crop science, and animal health and nutrition space where TeselaGen’s bioCAD/CAM rapid prototyping tools can be of tremendous value. One of our key initiatives for this year was to find a strategic partner to compliment our product and services and bring meaningful analytical biotechnology tools to our solution set. In TeselaGen we found the ideal partner as both companies are very passionate about helping R&D organizations get more out of their spending and resources by implementing better scientific and technology infrastructures.”
