Organization Description:
Sophic Systems Alliance Inc. is a life science/biomedical software and services integrator focused on supporting complex disease research. We were founded in 1993 and today, support pharmaceutical as well as government/academic research organizations in the fight to find cures for complex diseases and today, we are focused on cancer. The company is headquartered in Falmouth, MA with an office in Rockville, MD. We plan to open an office in Northern New Jersey in Q2 of 2007. Sophic is on the GSA Schedule 70 and is a Service Disabled Veteran Small Business (SDVOSB).
NCI Cancer Gene Data Curation Project
During the past three years, we have worked on the NCI Cancer Gene Data Curation Project. In this project we use NLP Linguistics Software to text-mine MEDLINE to identify and manually annotate all cancer genes, the relationship between each gene and the specific cancer disease and the relationship between the cancer gene and compounds and treatments for each type of disease. Go to the NCI website http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/NCICB/projects/cgdcp for further details. You can also download the annotated cancer genes we have completed in the project to date. We are now working on Phase II of this ongoing project.
The Cancer Gene Atlas Project (TCGA)
Because of our success in the Cancer Gene Index Project, Sophic was received a TCGA project to use automated and manual annotation processes to identify abnormalities, metastasis and mutation processes for brain, ovarian and lung cancer genes. We are now working on this project.
NCI Center for Cancer Research Knowledge Management Implementation
In 2007, we licensed a suite of Knowledge Management Software to NCI for implementation in six CCR labs focused on brain, ovarian, radiation, pediatric, tumor metastasis, and cellular and molecular cancer research. Our scientists are working with the PIs and their teams to configure the systems for each lab’s specific disease environment, each research strategy, and each unique combination of data sources. Through this process, we are also building a “shared knowledge layer” that will be accessible throughout CCR.
Northern New Jersey
Today, our commercial customer base includes a global pharmaceutical company in Northern New Jersey and we anticipate continued growth in this industry segment. Additionally, we will be implementing our Knowledge Management Environment at a leading Cancer Center to support both research and patient care.
