Linguamatics Ltd, a provider in enterprise text mining for the life science and other markets, recently announced that it has joined the Microsoft BioIT Alliance, an association of life science organizations and informatics companies whose focus is to enhance collaboration and accelerate the pace of drug discovery and development.

“As the amount of textual information impacting drug discovery and development programs grows exponentially each year, the ability to extract and share decision-relevant knowledge is crucial to streamline the process and raise productivity,” said Roger Hale, COO and Cofounder of Linguamatics. “Linguamatics is delighted to be part of Microsoft’s BioIT Alliance. As a leader in knowledge discovery from text, we look forward to working with other alliance members to explore new ways in which the mense value of text mining can be exploited across complex, multidisciplinary organizations like pharmaceutical companies.”
