Labmatrix' data exploration environment introduces a novel approach to aid life-sciences researchers in exploring and consuming disparate data sets in a more efficient manner. A key requirement for effective data exploration is to be able to rapidly and creatively formulate and receive answers to hypothesis-driven queries. With Labmatrix, researchers themselves can quickly and directly hone in on exploratory questions that the data can answer and save weeks of turnaround time via an easy-to-use graphical query interface. Informatics professionals, freed from daily barrage of ad hoc data requests from individual researchers, can focus on implementing infrastructural technologies to support all researchers.
In addition to enabling this new paradigm in data exploration, Labmatrix promotes a "whole life-cycle perspective" of scientific intelligence in tracking and querying clinical and molecular assay data within a configurable web-browser interface. Furthermore, Labmatrix incorporates a comprehensive, flexible access control framework for securing highly-sensitive data, as well as maintaining regulatory compliance and accountability through a comprehensive audit trail infrastructure.
"Hypothesis-driven data exploration is an important but much under-served aspect of the scientific process", said Jian Wang, Ph.D., CEO of BioFortis. "The Bio-IT Best of Show award is a great recognition of BioFortis' important contribution to remove this bottleneck and empower researchers in the digital age of scientific discoveries."
