The Pistoia Alliance is a global, not-for-profit alliance of life science companies, vendors, publishers, and academic groups that work together to lower barriers to innovation in R&D. The Startup Challenge 2015 panel of expert judges, drawn from the Pistoia Alliance''s membership, evaluated more than 30 start-up companies from around the world who are developing new ideas to lower the barriers to innovation in life sciences R&D.
Dr. Kate Torchilin, CEO of Novaseek Research said: "Novaseek is honored to receive this award. Going through the rigorous process of judging and working with our mentor at Pistoia allowed us to substantially enhance our Clinical Data Network for Research (CDNR) platform, the industry''s first comprehensive platform for accessing clinical data and human biospecimens that are essential for understanding diseases and developing medical advances."
Novaseek''s CDNR platform enables biomedical researchers to realize the power of the electronic medical record (EMR), opening access to clinical data from consenting patients and thousands of biospecimens flowing through hospital laboratories each day.
CNDR features powerful real-time analytics for project planning and timing of biospecimen fulfillment. It also enables researchers to specify criteria such as lab values, gender, diagnosis and medication history, and then match these search criteria to biospecimens in the hospitals. Novaseek and its healthcare partners use IRB-approved protocols and patient consents to ensure the ethical conduct of research and respect for all participants.
