Strand Life Sciences has launched its US based subsidiary Strand Scientific Intelligence, Inc to commercialize the innovative scientific intelligence solutions globally.

With the wide availability of low cost, high throughput measurement technologies, scientists in life and health sciences face the complex challenge of making sense of abundant data. Integrating the power of analytics, business intelligence, visualization, predictive and systems modelling, Strand has developed the practice of scientific intelligence to solve life and health sciences problems.

“Scientific Intelligence brings to the scientific community what business intelligence brought to financial and industrial users, a pragmatic approach to transform massive amounts of information into insights and decisions,” said François Mandeville, Strand’s executive vice president and general manager of Strand SI.

Professor Vijay Chandru, Strand’s CEO, co-founder and presently consulting professor, Stanford University since the inception of the company in 2000 said, “We have sought to enable scientists’ ability to leverage their knowledge and experience using visualization, analysis and modelling tools. We designed Strand’s Avadis platform for this exclusive purpose of enabling scientific intelligence in the era of data intensive scientific discovery.”

Based in the San Francisco bay area, Strand Scientific Intelligence will offer products and services based on Strand’s award winning Avadis software platform.

Strand is a privately held company which offers products and services for biologists, chemists, toxicologists that combine advanced visualization, predictive systems modelling, data integration and scientific context management.
