We are excited to announce our seed #funding led by #HyperplaneVentureCapital with participation from some #angelinvestors to transform #drugdiscovery and accelerate #growth. https://t.co/jg1wpp8LL9 — Elucidata (@elucidatacorp) June 19, 2018 Elucidata’s products are designed to take researchers from raw data to biological insights swiftly and efficiently. Their key goals are designing for reproducibility, ease-of-use, and speed. They also collaborate with noted academic and industrial labs in the fields of metabolomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and integrated omics to bring the latest techniques to their partners. “The way biological data is used to drive discovery in the industry is often slow and cumbersome. Our mission is to address the needs of all the very talented scientists who are discovering new life-saving drugs. They are sitting on very exciting datasets but are still manually crunching through spreadsheets to analyze vast amounts of data,” said Elucidata co-founder Abhishek Jha in a statement. Elucidata’s important tool is PollyTM, a cloud-based data analytics platform which drastically transforms the end-to-end drug discovery process and allows for more rapid data turnaround and analysis. Elucidata’s innovative metabolomics platform, released in 2018, is an extendable platform that can easily adapt to many types of data workflows and features an array of applications which can process, analyze, integrate, and visualise biological data. Almost one-thousand -omics datasets were uploaded to Polly by scientists across the world in the last month alone.
