But living organisms are complex, and designing drugs exclusively in silico is not ready for prime time. Based on months of research, this report sheds new light on the life science informatics industry: what's real, what's not, and how today's science-driven ventures can become tomorrow's profit makers. 'How You Benefit' from purchasing this report. This report is the result of primary research consisting of more than two dozen in-depth interviews and briefings with users and vendors. The primary author has over 25 years of experience as a consultant and industry analyst. You also get: One hour of consultation by telephone or e-mail (for explanation, elaboration, and (at our discretion) additional research. Unique "match-making" service: we will help you find and contact potential partners, strategic customers, and subject experts An independent and objective view of the life science informatics industry. Insights gained through numerous vendor interviews and briefings and ongoing research.
