Better Informed Target Selection
Today, when bioinformatics analysts are analyzing the gene expression data from diseased and healthy tissues, they are only looking for the genes that are strongly expressed. The problem with this is that it's not only the strong expressed genes that can be interesting. With PathwayLab it becomes much easier to recognize the less expressed important genes. By combining the results from expression data with PathwayLab's sensitivity analysis, it makes it easier to identify disease-related pathways and high potential targets earlier in the process. This will also help to elucidate the functionality of the pathways, allowing scientists to accomplish research goals faster. By combining the regulation of the enzymes, with the enzymes impact on the disease in the pathway, it's possible to prioritize which targets that are the most likely target to affect the disease, and to pursue.

More Focused Wet-lab Experiments
By using pathway models that simulate behavior of biochemical pathways, PathwayLab will give you a better understanding of the disease processes, which will result in a more efficient use of your wet-lab resources due to earlier exclusion of false assumptions and hypothesis. That will save you money and time.

Improve Your Research Communication
In research group discussions, pathway diagrams and drawings are often used as a discussion tool. The problem is that the companies have very little structure of the pathway information their researcher uses, and not any dedicated tool to capture and structure this information. PathwayLab will therefore help companies to capture the intellectual property their researchers have, as well as making it more accessible for other researchers in the organization. This will become a critical issue for Big Pharma companies in the future.

Benefits

PathwayLab offers several benefits for target discovery reserachers. A few of them are mentioned here.

Faster Elucidation of Disease Pathways and Target Functionality
One of the areas of greatest activity in genomics-based drug discovery and development today is the mapping of genomic, proteomic, metabolic, and clinical data to biochemical pathways. Pathways are critical in order to understand biology and thus may be the key to turning genomic data into targets for drug development. With PathwayLab, your pathway mapping work will become more efficient, since you have a tool that gives you the big picture of all the different information sources you're using.

Captures Your Intellectual Property
Is your company's intellectual property documented, so if any of your senior researchers quit, the research project is not hurt or impossible to continue? PathwayLab will give you a tool that makes it easy for your researchers to document their findings, and share their work with their colleagues.
