John Snow Labs Doubles Life Sciences Coverage by Releasing 271 Curated Datasets

John Snow Labs Doubles Life Sciences Coverage by Releasing 271 Curated Datasets on Devices, Drug Pricing, Drug Safety, Drugs, Food and Genomics

After 2 years in operation, John Snow Labs is excited to announce its expansion into the Life Sciences arena; and is now ready to present 68 updated Accelerators and 271 fresh Datasets from this new repository. It initially showcases data from the branches of Science in the fields of medical devices, drugs, food and genomics, which is expected to swell and extend to other domains by the end of 2017.

This new development in John Snow Labs further forges its vision and commitment in contributing to the health of everyone around the world by “ACCELERATING THE USE OF DATA TO IMPROVE HUMAN WELL-BEING”.

From a team of healthcare professionals who are experts in their fields, they carefully crafted the datasets from its research phase to its various levels of quality – manual and auto validations. The datasets then can reach the table of primary end users from physicians to patients. It also spreads across the writing desks of critical stakeholders from internal managers, regulators, data scientists and scientific experts, financiers and financial analysts, legal experts, advocacy groups and even government agencies.

In a larger scale, this upgrade from John Snow Labs impacts the Life Sciences industry in specific ways, which is in sync with the top biotech and pharma industries across the globe:

• Minimized mistakes and reduced cost of research

“Business must make a sound profit. We must experiment with new ideas. Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed and mistakes paid for.” Johnson & Johnson, US

• Shortened time spent in gathering data

“We work to bring new and better medicines to patients in the shortest possible time.” Novartis, EU

• Improved lives

“Pfizer is committed to helping facilitate industry engagement and aligning our corporate objectives to accelerate impact for healthy individuals and patients across the globe. At Pfizer, our purpose – to bring innovative therapies to patients that significantly improve their lives.” Pfizer, US

• Personalized Healthcare therapies

“Personalized Healthcare (PHC) is about providing the right treatment for the right group of patients. Did you know that previously, only five out of ten patients, on average, actually benefited from their treatment? Today, up to 80% of patients respond to their targeted therapies.” Roche, EU

• Supported research efforts

“We are determined to transform breakthrough science into novel therapeutic and vaccine options. Curiosity, inventiveness and a passion for excellence are what drive our people to discover what’s possible.” Merck & Co., US

John Snow Lab’s direction has most of the biotech and pharma needs covered; not to mention the opportunities to leverage the backroom health studies from universities and non-government research communities and advocacies. The government can also find aid in creating cost-efficient, financially sustainable and health effective programs for the people.

Threat to Human Health

One of the most urgent needs right now is best stated in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) statement on antimicrobial resistance:

“WHO today published its first ever list of antibiotic-resistant ‘priority pathogens’ – a catalogue of 12 families of bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health.

The list was drawn up in a bid to guide and promote research and development (R&D) of new antibiotics, as part of WHO’s efforts to address growing global resistance to antimicrobial medicines.

The list highlights in particular the threat of gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. These bacteria have built-in abilities to find new ways to resist treatment and can pass along genetic material that allows other bacteria to become drug-resistant as well.” 27 February 2017 WHO, Geneva

John Snow Lab is strategically positioned in helping find solutions for this threat, as data is made readily available, research scientist’s work can now be shortened. They can now better focus on finding answers and alternatives, which was previously spent in gathering facts. Time and treatment options are running out and the traditional method of market forces alone will no longer work.

Having all the different sectors working together will assure the general public of better outcomes, wiser decisions, decreased negative consequences, lessened adverse health effects and reduced financial losses.

John Snow Labs actively bridges the gap between Science and technology

“Collaboration becomes the key theme in 2017—collaboration within the health care ecosystem, with patients, or internally. Many of the pressures that life sciences companies are under—whether they cost or regulatory or operational—in somewhere, shape, or form, can be de-risked by creating a platform for information and idea exchange.” Greg Reh, US/Global Life Sciences Sector Leader
