Ricerca Biosciences Releases Foresight Similarity Analysis Service
Ricerca Biosciences
, a preclinical contract research organization providing services to the biopharmaceutical industry, has announced its similarity analysis service, Foresight™.
Foresight allows compound assay results to be compared against the assay results of a large reference set of pharmacologically active compounds. The tool helps predict
in vivo
effects from
in vitro
pharmacology data and provides insight into additional, non-obvious compound activities.
The analysis service allows scientists to discover clues to the possibilities of a compound. Foresight can be used to direct compound modification to avoid adverse effects and determine new indications for safe or novel compounds.
Ricerca has previous worked with clients to profile compounds in the discovery space. With the development of this tool, Ricerca can now offer interpretation and predictive analysis of pharmacological data.
