REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Ingenuity Systems, the
leading provider of information solutions for life science researchers, today
introduced Ingenuity Analysis Services, custom-tailored professional
scientific services for scientists working with 'omics data related to
compound profiling, target identification, and mechanism of action studies.
The new services are designed to meet the needs of research teams that require
a rapid turnaround for a project, or who do not have the required resources
internally.
    Ingenuity Analysis Services was developed in response to demand from
organizations that needed a trusted source for the analysis and interpretation
of their 'omics data sets. With more than ten years of experience in the life
science industry, Ingenuity scientists have extensive expertise analyzing and
interpreting data in accordance with industry best practices, and have the
added advantage of utilizing the Ingenuity Knowledge Base for more reliable
results.    Examples of Ingenuity Analysis Services offerings include:

    -- Analysis and interpretation of 'omics datasets for compound profiling,
       lead identification and prioritization of therapeutic targets, and
       understanding disease mechanism of action and mechanism of toxicity.
    -- Building biological models of disease processes for target
       identification and validation research.
    -- Identification and prioritization of biomarkers via analysis of gene
       expression array, proteomics, or genotyping data.
    -- Delivering a focused toxicity and safety assessment of drug candidates.
    -- Creating clear report summaries and graphics or pathways for
       presentations or publications.


    "Ingenuity Analysis Services provides relevant and actionable analysis
results quickly," said Sean Scott, SVP Commercial Operations, Ingenuity
Systems. "We are seeing an analysis outsourcing trend in the pharmaceutical
and biotech industry because maintaining a fully trained and current analysis
skill set in-house is not always the most efficient and effective way to get
fast and high quality analysis results. Many of these organizations have
reached out to us for analysis services because of their long partnership with
IPA and their trust in the quality of knowledge and analysis results that
Ingenuity delivers."
