Collexis Holdings Inc., developer of high definition search and knowledge discovery software, announced today that its premier professional scientific social networking site, Biomedexperts.com, has more than 30,000 registered users, enabling researchers across organizations and around the globe to collaborate more efficiently and effectively.
In April Collexis implemented the first phase of their marketing campaign and since that time BiomedExperts’ user registrations have skyrocketed from 2,000 to more than 30,000. BiomedExperts.com is a collaborative agreement with Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences. Through this initiative, Dell is providing the hardware and continued marketing support for the site and Collexis is contributing knowledge discovery and text mining applications.
“The success of BiomedExperts.com is a testament to the role innovative technology can play in enabling researchers to collaborate and drive meaningful scientific discoveries,” said James Coffin, Ph.D., vice president and general manager, Dell Health Care and Life Sciences. “The possibilities are tremendous when scientists of varying disciplines work together on a similar goal, and in this connected era bringing research communities together through technology can have real and significant impact on scientific discoveries and ultimately patient care.”
Pre-populated with over 1.5 million Pub-Med-based expert profiles, BiomedExperts allows scientists and researchers to directly connect with and explore their own professional contacts, grow their networks and identify researchers with the expertise needed for future collaborations. Through user-friendly search interfaces, potential research collaborators can share data and collaborate with professionals from more than 1,800 organizations and institutions from 137 countries, totaling more than 21 million connections made through the site.
“It’s exciting to see how this tool is paving the way for researchers to grow their professional networks and connect with professionals in the scientific research community,” said Bill Kirkland, CEO of Collexis Holdings, Inc. “And now, with more than 30,000 registered users, we hope the collaborative opportunities will continue to increase rapidly, furthering our mission to provide scientists and researchers with the tools they need to help advance medical science, thereby improving the greater good.”
