Feb 23, 2005

NEW YORK, Feb. 23 (GenomeWeb News) - Insilicos announced today that it has been awarded a two-year, $400,000 grant from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to develop a general-purpose proteomics software suite.

 

The Seattle-based life science software developer said that it planned to use the funding to "improve and extend" the XML-based Trans-Proteomic Pipeline software, which is being developed by Insilicos' collaborator, the Instutute for Systems Biology.

 

The company said it wants to make the software applicable to a wider array of experiments, equipment, and research environments.
