FactBio Joins Pistoia Alliance
Cambridge, 22 January 2016… FactBio, a developer of novel bioinformatics software with a focus on improving knowledge management and data sharing, has joined the Pistoia Alliance, a global organisation supporting life sciences R&D.
Dr James Malone, CEO of FactBio said: “The Pistoia Alliance has made excellent progress in supporting life sciences R&D and many of its projects are now having an impact globally. By joining the Pistoia Alliance, we hope to help in tackling some of the challenges faced by life sciences R&D.”
FactBio was established in 2015 to develop novel bioinformatics software to improve life sciences research. In particular the company will focus on the development of Kusp (Knowledge Sharing Platform), a knowledge management system which will allow researchers to select a series of BioBuckets and use these to track entities of interest to them, and receive updates of new developments. The entities could include genes, pathways, proteins, or even people and publications as required. Kusp will also be fully integrated into social media, allowing researchers to share their discoveries with the global community.
