NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Aridhia Informatics and Glencoe Software today announced a partnership to develop products using real-world clinical, genetic, and research information in order to hasten the development of personalized therapies and improve patient outcomes.
The deal brings together Aridhia's capabilities in accessing, storing, and analyzing healthcare information and Glencoe's expertise in managing, sharing, and publishing large scientific datasets.
As part of the deal, Aridhia, based in Dundee, Scotland, will make a "major investment" in Seattle-based Glencoe. Financial details were not disclosed.
Both firms were founded based on technology developed at the University of Dundee. Formed in 2008, Aridhia is a health informatics joint venture between the university, NHS Tayside, and Sumerian and has received more than £6.5 million ($10.5 million) in investments in its history, it said.
