This online community represents the next generation in social networks. The comprehensive system of pre-populated expert profiles, coupled with the ability to analyze all associated professional connections within the network, allows scientists and researchers across multiple organizations to share data and collaborate in ways never before considered. Over the next few weeks, a controlled group of research thought leaders are testing the site for a public launch slated for January, when the site's name and web address will be formally released to the public. However, Frankfurt Book Fair attendees can gain access to the site at the companies' joint booth, number 417 in Hall 4.2, at any time during the conference, or during a wine and cheese reception on Thursday, October 9, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Designed to promote collaborative research and development in advancing medical science, the site is the first social networking See social networking site. social networking - social network application to incorporate pre-generated expert profiles of over 1.4 million biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1.

It currently houses approximately 12 million pre-established network connections, automatically generated from over six million scientific publications from 6,500 journals. Contrary to the first generation social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, this life science open platform goes to the next level and reflects the real-life activity network of the experts worldwide. "Social networking isn't just for teenagers. There are a growing number of academics who are finding that online communities are the perfect way to share, collaborate and discuss their work," said Bill Kirkland, Collexis CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

The technology behind our site now makes it possible for researchers to collaborate in a way not previously possible." "When a researcher logs into the site, available at no-charge, they will immediately see a robust synopsis of their publications, interests and network," added Kirkland. "The depth of this information, encompassing almost every published researcher in the biomedical sciences field worldwide, is what makes the site incredibly powerful. It also serves as a definitive source to identify relationships to others within the community, either by topic or geography."

"Taking the Collexis technology, which has become the platform of choice for leading biomedical companies, and combining it with a free social network application was really the next logical step," said Christian Herzog, MD, CEO of SyynX Solutions. "Thanks to the genius of Martin Schmidt, our chief technology officer, in collaboration with the Collexis leadership, the research community will now be able to instantaneously identify relevant expertise in a specific research area and start collaborating directly. Plus, we see the next generations of this platform expanding beyond biomedical research Biomedical research (or experimental medicine), in general simply known as medical research, is the basic research or applied research conducted to aid the body of knowledge in the field of medicine. and into larger, global R&D development efforts."
