TOKYO, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Genedata, the leading provider of enterprise software solutions for biopharmaceutical R&D, today announced that Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a leading research-based pharmaceutical company in Japan, has chosen Genedata Profiler® as one of the cornerstones of their biomarker strategy to support the efficient identification and validation of innovative, next-generation biomarkers.
"We chose Genedata Profiler because it is the end-to-end enterprise software able to harmonize our dispersed data analysis pipelines", said Kimio Terao, Department Manager of Clinical Pharmacology at Chugai. "We need to enhance our capacity to analyze large amounts of high-dimensional 'omic data emerging from our rapidly growing number of translational and clinical research projects. This requires domain-specific software to automate the processing, analysis, and integration of such complex molecular data types. We needed a solution that scales with us as we grow. And Genedata, who impressed us with their tremendous scientific expertise, provided this."
Genedata Profiler is now integrated into Chugai's data analysis pipeline and will support the company achieve 'early Proof of Concept', ultimately bringing innovative drugs to patients faster. Set up as a cloud-based system that is fully scalable, Genedata Profiler helps Chugai cope with the massive increase in data volume and complexity of their clinical and translational research projects. In addition, multiple levels of fine-grained access control ensure data security throughout the entire data lifecycle. And since the advanced exploratory analytics of Genedata Profiler don't necessarily require programming skills, Chugai's translational researchers can easily and rapidly deliver high-quality results. This holistic, data-driven approach will empower Chugai to accelerate the discovery of innovative biomarkers and will lead to a rising number of successful R&D projects.
