REDWOOD CITY, California, March 31 /PRNewswire/ --
Ingenuity Systems, the leading provider of information solutions for life science researchers, announced today that Path Designer, the new pathway publishing tool in IPA 6, was selected as the Best New Product by the scientific community in attendance at the Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference in San Francisco. Path Designer enables researchers to create customized, publication-quality graphics to more clearly communicate their experimental findings and scientific hypotheses. Path Designer offers a distinct advantage to users because the graphics remain interactive, so new information can be added and the original knowledge used to build the pathway remains accessible.
"We are delighted to have won this award," stated Brigitte Ganter, Director of Product Management at Ingenuity Systems. "IPA's development has always been customer-centric, and we developed Path Designer in response to our to customers' need to effectively communicate their scientific findings in a visually compelling and meaningful manner. We are honored to receive this community-chosen award and appreciate the strong support from the IPA user community in designing the product."
"Path Designer is unique for several reasons," commented Ramon Felciano, Ph.D., CTO and Vice President, Research at Ingenuity Systems. "It provides the user with flexibility in how they represent different parts of pathways and networks. With this sort of control, researchers can modify the representation of drugs, genes, molecules, or relationships to clearly demonstrate their membership in various pathways, signatures, or disease processes. More importantly, the pathway remains dynamic, which means that researchers can continue to access and use Ingenuity's uniquely structured knowledge base of literature findings while adding their own proprietary insights. There really is no better way to use pathways to illustrate key results and hypotheses to colleagues."
