GenoLogics Life Sciences Software Inc. (GenoLogics) has established a strategic partnership with the Institute for Systems Biology to collaborate on increasing the widespread utility of ISB’s open source software tools within the life sciences community.

ISB has played a pioneering role in developing new open source tools for data collection and analysis as well as new scientific instruments and approaches supporting genomics, proteomics, and high-speed cell sorting. GenoLogics will collaborate to enhance the functionality and usability of ISB’s open source tools and integrate these tools into its industry leading lab management and informatics platform – ProteusLIMSa. In addition, the GenoLogics value-added support network will facilitate installation and broaden the reach of the tools for a wider group of researchers.

Dr. Ruedi Aebersold, co-founder of the ISB and one of the pioneers in the field of proteomics notes, “The partnership with GenoLogics is aligned with our mission as an integrating force in biology and medicine and our goal of rapidly developing and disseminating new technologies and computational tools to individual scientists and labs all over the world. As a leader in providing lab information management systems for proteomics research, GenoLogics’ ability to enhance and integrate our tools into their platform will only serve to accelerate the dissemination and help transform today’s
technologies. We plan to extend this relationship as ISB develops additional new bioinformatics tools and GenoLogics extends its lab management and informatics platform into systems biology.”
