Open PHACTS 2ND Workshop

Currently, pharmaceutical companies expend significant and duplicated efforts aligning and integrating internal information with public data sources. This process is difficult and inefficient and the vast majority of drug discovery sources cannot easily interoperate.

To reduce the barriers to drug discovery in industry, academia and for small businesses, the Open PHACTS IMI project has developed the Open PHACTS Discovery Platform - providing access to a collection of tools and services to question multiple integrated and publicly available data sources to support drug discovery. The Open PHACTS Foundation is a not-for-profit membership organisation, supporting the Open PHACTS Discovery Platform: A sustainable, open, vibrant and interoperable information infrastructure for applied life science research and development.

To reduce the barriers to drug discovery in industry, academia and for small businesses, the Open PHACTS Discovery Platform provides tools and services to interact with multiple integrated and publicly available data sources. To integrate this data, extensive cross-referencing of scientific concepts is needed across all databases. The Open PHACTS Foundation ensures the sustainability of the Open PHACTS Discovery Platform infrastructure and acts as a hub for relevant scientific research and development.
