Maven Semantic announces updates to Bioinformatics medical professionals database

Jul 23 2010

Maven Semantic (http://www.mavensemantic.com) announces updates to their Bioinformatics database.

“The system uses the context in which a given person appears, using artificial intelligence techniques to find out information not otherwise visible - for example, how important is this person in a specific medical research specialization”

The new database is now available to marketing, business development, competitor intelligence, KOL, medical affairs and related departments in the life sciences sector.

The database currently tags 78,000 individuals working in Bioinformatics, DNA Sequencing, Sequence Alignment, Gene Finding, Genome Assembly, Drug Design, Drug Discovery, Protein Structure Alignment, Protein Structure Prediction, Prediction Of Gene Expression, and Protein Protein Interaction. http://bit.ly/dmrgck .
