美国Insilicos成立于2002年,
Insilicos was founded in 2002 by a group combining scientific excellence with extensive experience in scientific computing software.
Insilicos analyzes biology, primarily with pattern recognition, to determine the differences between health and disease. A method for determining health vs. disease is called a biomarker. Biomarkers are used to diagnose disease and to determine if a patient is responding to a drug. Biomarkers are also used in drug research and other biological research to understand the behavior of biological systems.
Insilicos concentrates on in vitro biomarkers. The patient supplies a small amount of a bodily fluid, such as blood. The blood is then analyzed, typically with a technique called mass spectrometry. Normally, most of the information produced is about the patient's proteins, so this approach is called proteomics.
