SAN DIEGO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientist Solutions is officially launching its company during the Neuroscience Convention at the San Diego Convention Center (Booth #320) on October 27, 2004. The Scientist Solutions Board is the first international, multi-disciplinary and scientist-moderated Internet forum in the world. It is a discussion board and centralized networking forum for scientists to globally exchange ideas, problem solve and develop collaborative relationships for the advancement of science and technology.
“Based on years of research and selling products into the biotechnology industry, it was clear that the life science industry was lacking a centralized forum to bring scientists together to collaborate,” said Scientist Solutions Vice President of Sales and Marketing Tim Fleming. “We have recruited a team of experts including scientists, doctors, marketers, sales professionals and technology experts to help fill this void and build a website that uses a powerful, yet easy-to-use interface for gathering, organizing and exchanging information -- all for the purpose of advancing life science and biotechnology research in an effort to bring new drugs and cures to market faster. After a year of development, we plan to go live internationally with our http://www.scientistsolutions.com/ site by mid-November 2004.”
Biotechnology is one of the most research-intensive industries in the world. The U.S. biotech industry spent $17.9 billion on research and development in 2003 and employed close to 200,000 people. With the average time frame of 17 years and the average cost of several hundred million dollars to launch a drug in the marketplace, the need for research collaboration and problem solving is evident. Scientists and researchers are continuously looking for ways to collaborate for answers to their toughest questions.
Featuring more than 20 life science disciplines, the Board is a free research tool for scientists, requiring no fees for membership or participation. Beginning immediately, the Scientist Solution Board will be test marketed in California, which contains the two largest biotech regions in the world.
Full-time scientists moderate each life science discipline, such as immunology, genetics, cell biology, bioengineering, and biochemistry to name a few, for a peer-to-peer discussion. To reward scientists and technicians for participation in the forum, Scientist Solutions enters members in exciting sweepstakes when they sign up, initiate questions and answers, click on mystery sponsor logos and refer friends to the site. The sweepstake prizes include new cars (Prius, Smart Car, MiniCooper) and Apple iPods.
The Scientist Solution Board features valuable links and short cuts to other research and biotechnology sites. This enables scientists to gather useful information outside of the forum when needed. The viability of the web site is based on scientist participation, as well as the sale of a limited number of advertising sponsorships to biotechnology companies. Scientist Solutions is offering a special price promotion with an unconditional guarantee for companies that reserve a sponsorship slot by November 15, 2004.
