Coupling Biospecimen Management with Integrative Analytics that together Enable Translational Medicine
What is Integrative Analytics?
Integrative analytics is a paradigm based on the use of analytical workflows as a means for rapidly integrating data from multiple sources and for coordinating the use of various analytical tools. Integrative analytics provides various specialized extensions for integrating, accessing, browsing, and analyzing the related data sets within a truly cross-domain discovery platform.
What is Translational Medicine?
Translational medicine incorporates aspects of both basic science and clinical research, and therefore requires skills and resources not usually available in a single laboratory or clinical setting. Analogously, biospecimen materials used in clinical research are difficult to obtain, store, and manage, making it even more challenging for a single laboratory to establish the basic tenets needed to conduct translational research.
Today's translational research is critically dependant on biospecimens for biological research. In the development of a drug or new procedure, a company may collect hundreds of thousands of these specimens beginning with basic research and continuing all of the way to post-approval Phase IV clinical trials. However, translational medicine requires a far more unified and large-scale software solution to manage and track these biological materials, as well as, the experiment, sample, and clinical data associated with them. Therefore , access to distributed and siloed bioinformatics, cheminformatics, clinical information and text data combined with their associated analysis tools is essential for effective translational research studies.
SAPPHIRE™ BioBanking Solution now with Integrative Analytics!
As stated previously, the SAPPHIRE BioBanking Solution enables centralized biological specimen tracking from initial diagnosis to final disease outcome. It supports organization-wide inventory control and offers intricate chain-of-custody functionality, including detailed location & shipment management, aliquot/derivative & pooled sample tracking, and electronic signature captured transfer & disposition. The SAPPHIRE BioBanking Solution with Integrative Analytics couples the SAPPHIRE Biobanking Solution's laboratory information and biorepository management with the best of data integration and interactive analytics.
The combined approach leverages configurable, modular driven products, rather than custom developed software or services, for workflow driven laboratory information management and automation, as well as, workflow driven integrative analytics. This enables organizations to not only more effectively operate their laboratories, execute their protocols, and manage their samples, but also enter, mine, and analyze the data stored throughout their heterogeneous scientific and operational systems.
The SAPPHIRE Biobanking Solution with Integrative Analytics provides researchers with real-time access to a broader set of scientific data such as genomic, phenotypic, proteomic, and correlative clinical data. Together the solution arms scientific researchers with the information and analysis tools needed to conduct translational research under compliance with HIPAA and other privacy laws.
