Friday, January 11, 2008 - Collexis today announced the debut of BioMedExperts (www.biomedexperts.com) -- the first online social network of its kind to improve collaboration among researchers and therefore advance medical science. Collexis launched the new service with more than 1.4 million pre-generated profiles of its expected users from across 120 countries and expects to grow by another two million profiles over the next few months.
An agreement with Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences helped make BioMedExperts possible. Dell supplied the computer hardware for the service and will help market BioMedExperts.
“The ability for researchers to collaborate across scientific disciplines is becoming more and more critical,” said James Coffin, Ph.D., vice president and general manager of Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences. “By connecting biologists, chemists, clinical researchers and other scientists from across the globe, BioMedExperts can play a key role in enabling a new wave of modern science and have tremendous impact on progress in biomedical research.”
The new service will allow life sciences professionals to connect with each other, share data, collaborate more efficiently and conduct deep research across thousands of sources.
