Infotrieve Announces Coming Launch of the Life Science Research Center, Search & Discovery Tool for Simplifying Research & Development Processes
Infotrieve, Inc., today announced plans to launch its new web-based search and discovery research environment, the Life Science Research Center (LSRC), in March 2005. The LSRC simplifies scientists’ daily workflow by providing a robust user interface to search diverse types of scientific, technical, and medical (STM) information and to identify relationships across traditionally disparate sources of content. The LSRC will utilize full-text searching of pre-processed STM content such as literature, patents, drug pipeline data, genes, technical protocols, laboratory products, and industry news.
“Infotrieve’s Life Science Research Center will have an immediate positive impact in simplifying the search process and improving productivity for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other life science-related researchers,” said Wes Crews, Infotrieve President and Chief Executive Officer. “The LSRC employs a radically different approach to discovery, evolving the traditional use of content from a `find-and-review’ approach to a unique `search-discover-and-create’ approach capable of delivering dramatic improvements in research processes and outcomes.”
In addition to full-text searching and the identification of relationships through entity extraction and concept clustering, the Life Science Research Center features secure meta searching of external and internal corporate data sources, personalization for individuals and collaborative workgroups, and a multitude of robust search capabilities. The LSRC is the latest addition to Infotrieve’s emerging electronic research platform that increases the value of organizational content and improves scientists’ existing workflow. Infotrieve is currently integrating the Infotrieve Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) with the LSRC, as well as literature retrieval, and laboratory product purchasing.
“The LSRC improves scientists’ daily workflow and decision making processes by streamlining their ability to search, retrieve, and process the critical STM information that they need,” added Jenny Connelly, Infotrieve’s Director of Marketing and Product Management. “In addition, R&D management and information professionals can use the LSRC to empower scientists in ways not previously possible, supporting innovation and maximizing existing corporate investments in content.”
