Qlucore has announced that researchers at the Health Sciences Research Institute of the Germans Trias i Pujol Foundation (IGTP) will be using Qlucore Omics Explorer to support their research into various diseases, including Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and more.
The IGTP has an international reputation for its high-profile research activities in areas that include colon cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, hepatocarcinoma, surgical techniques, microbiology, neurology and basic research.
By focussing on these key areas, the IGTP hopes to generate, preserve, disseminate and increase multidisciplinary and translational knowledge in all of these areas, and to support the continued technological development in biomedical sciences.
“Our aim at the IGTP is to become a research centre of reference, so that we can take all of the knowledge that we generate here and transfer it to clinical practice and therapeutic centres all over the world,” says Eli Pedrosa Tapias PhD, Technical Supervisor at the IGPT.
Tapias continued, “Tools like Qlucore Omics Explorer are helping us to achieve this goal by making our research much more efficient, and by providing our researchers with valuable data that they can interpret very quickly. As a result, we can afford to be more creative with our theories, and therefore gain much greater insight into the mysteries of human disease.”
Qlucore Omics Explorer is an advanced data analysis tool that is extremely powerful and yet easy to use.
One of the key methods used by Qlucore Omics Explorer to visualize data is dynamic principal component analysis (PCA), an innovative way of combining PCA analysis with immediate user interaction. PCA analysis works by projecting high dimensional data down to lower dimensions.
With Qlucore Omics Explorer, this PCA data is projected and plotted on a two-dimensional computer screen and then rotated manually or automatically.
The software is unique in that it allows the actual researchers - the people with the most biological insight - to study their own data and to look for patterns and structures.
As a result, researchers do not need to be statistics or computer experts in order to use Qlucore Omics Explorer effectively.
"The fact that the IGTP chose Qlucore Omics Explorer to conduct its data analysis is a very powerful endorsement for us, as the IGTP is a highly respected research organization," says Carl-Johan Ivarsson, President, Qlucore.
Ivarsson continued, "We’re delighted that our software is helping IGTP’s researchers to simplify, explore and understand their high-dimensional data, since this research will have a vital role to play in the fight against many different diseases."
