Case Study: Streamlining Drug Discovery Research

Impact Section

Problem Statement

During the drug discovery phase, scientists dedicated significant time to information gathering for researching target identification. The previous process involved manual and inefficient methods for effective management and analysis of vast volumes of research data, including:

Research papers and review articles

Organization of data from Jazz Pharma & External/Public Data

Structured & Unstructured Data

This led to inefficiencies, slower research cycles, and reduced time for high-impact innovation.

Solution Section

Impact

The manual and fragmented approach resulted in:

High Time Consumption:
Scientists spent 10-15% of their time on repetitive information gathering tasks.

Data Silos:
Inconsistent data organization across various sources.

Delayed Insights
Slow access to critical information hampered research progress.

Reduced Innovation
Scientists had less time for core research and analysis.

Business Benefits Section

Solution

The implemented solution involved aggregating structured and unstructured data from diverse sources into a centralized data lake. This streamlined process included:

Multi-omics Data Integration:
Combining various omics data for a holistic view.

Internal Research Reports:
Centralizing internal findings.

Industry Databases:
Integrating data from databases like ChEMBL, UniProt, FDA/EMA.

NLP Query & Analytics:
Utilizing Natural Language Processing for efficient data querying and analysis.

This transformed the manual, disparate data collection into an automated, integrated, and easily accessible system.
