Collexis, HSSC partner on first knowledge directory of S.C. medical research
Collexis Holdings Inc., a future Innovista tenant and leading developer of semantic search and knowledge discovery software, has announced it has partnered with Health Sciences South Carolina to launch the first virtual knowledge directory of health science research being conducted across the state by HSSC partner institutions.
This is a major advancement, making South Carolina the first state in the nation to create a searchable directory of medical research and biomedical expertise.
HSSC is a unique statewide research collaborative composed of South Carolina's three research universities and three largest health systems that is conducting collaborative biomedical research to improve health status, education, workforce development, and economic wellbeing for all South Carolinians. HSSC strives to be an economic catalyst by attracting nationally prominent scientists, clinical
trials of new drugs and medical devices and health-related companies to South Carolina, ultimately stimulating the state's knowledge-based economy.
"Collexis' technology will significantly benefit Health Sciences South Carolina by allowing its member institutions' researchers and health professionals to remain abreast of all ongoing research across the state," said HSSC president and CEO Dr. Jay Moskowitz.
"This software is a critical component of the statewide information technology infrastructure HSSC is in the process of building. We look forward to the launch and are confident that it will further advance and support the research efforts of HSSC partner institutions, thereby improving the overall economic well-being, health status and workforce development of our state."
