“In many cases, discovering the mechanisms of disease and uncovering new drug targets requires an understanding of not just individual biological events, but key biological pathways,” said Siamak Baharloo, PhD, Director of eBusiness at Millipore. “This tool provides a relevant new interface to assist scientists in planning and executing their research within the context of the biological systems in which they are interested.”

When a researcher accesses a pathway map, they see a detailed description of the pathway and supporting literature references. As the researcher selects protein or gene targets along the pathway, information is dynamically populated into a Target Information Dashboard. The dashboard information includes the gene symbol and aliases; links to bioinformatics content and recent publications; as well as links to appropriate Millipore products.

The release of this new application is part of Millipore’s commitment to advancing life science research by providing unique on-line bioinformatics capabilities that complement the company's reagents, tools, and services.
