Torrey Path partners with Accelrys ISV program
Torrey Path announced today that it has joined Accelrys Inc’s (Nasdaq: ACCL) Independent Software Vendors (ISV) alliance program. As a member of the program, Torrey Path will sell applications for delivery of and reporting on biological data that use Accelrys’ industry leading Pipeline Pilot software platform.
“We chose to integrate with Pipeline Pilot specifically because we feel it is one of the best ways to handle the volume and sequential processing needs of our gene expression content,” said Peter Dresslar, Torrey Path Founder and CEO. “We think the future is bright for biodata and bioinformatics solutions built on the Pipeline Pilot platform, because trends in the industry make the platform increasingly appropriate for biological research computing.”
“Torrey Path is using Pipeline Pilot in exciting new ways to make gene expression data more accessible to life scientists of all kinds,” said Frank Brown, Vice President and Chief Science Officer of Accelrys. “We are pleased to have them join the community of Pipeline Pilot developers.”
Torrey Path has already developed a solution for integrating and reporting on customers’ in-house gene expression data called Gene Expression Reports for Pipeline Pilot. This solution includes statistical pre-processing and characterization with key related biological terminology. Gene Expression Reports for Pipeline Pilot can also be used to work with and integrate the expert-curated gene expression data from existing Torrey Path Content Packs.

Torrey Path also announced today that Dr. Sirimon O-Charoen, Senior Research Scientist, will present at Accelrys’ European User Group Conference. Dr. O-Charoen will discuss findings in eye disease made analyzing Torrey Path’s Eye Content Pack and using Pipeline Pilot. “Using Pipeline Pilot to Mine Value-added Data from Public Gene Expression Repositories” will be held as part of the conference’s Biology Track on Thursday, October 15th, 2009.
