Helsinki,.– MediSapiens Ltd, a Finnish company developing web-based data applications for the pharmaceutical industry, today announced that Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals has purchased a new software solution developed by MediSapiens. The software, called OncoGenomics Explorer will provide Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals with a centralized access to unified global genomics data for utilization across the entire research organization from target discovery to drug repositioning.

“Big Data, a term invented for a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools is quickly becoming increasingly important in pharmaceutical research. Until now, the lack of software tools that can be adapted to various research environments has limited the full-scale use of this enormous reservoir of available data. OncoGenomics Explorer is our answer to this demand”, says Tommi Pisto, CEO of MediSapiens Ltd.
