Abstract:

Research pipeline development is a key focus of biotechnology companies as they strive to bring better future treatments to patients. Timely identification of therapeutic targets and analysis of competitor progress is crucial in the drug development process in order to develop a successful research strategy. Researchers can independently use various avenues to gather and filter through the vast amount of material using a painstaking and long manual curation processes. The speed and accuracy of this process can be greatly enhanced by using advanced tools developed for this specific purpose. This presentation describes how competitor landscape analysis prepared using BizInt Smartcharts and VantagePoint helped guide pipeline research strategy.
