BISHOPS STORTFORD, UK - May 12, 2014 - Dotmatics, a leading provider
of scientific informatics solutions and services to the academic,
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, reported today that
its premium data analysis and visualisation software, Vortex, is
being used by university research groups in Thailand to further
their scientific research in diverse fields. Dotmatics' Vortex is
designed to assist scientists gain a deeper understanding of their
data and help to draw meaningful conclusions in an efficient
way.
Thailand and its universities are increasingly placing a strong
emphasis on research with great examples of outstanding research
centres being Mahidol
University and Kasetsart
University, Bangkok. Both Universities boast an outstanding set
of research teams, countless projects and a number of national and
international awards.
Dr M Paul Gleeson, Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry,
Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok explains,
"Dotmatics' tools allow our group to perform advanced data analysis
in a rapid and systematic manner. We have used the Vortex package
to quickly analyse data obtained from individual program series,
helping to unearth trends not easily servable without the advanced
visualisation, data clustering and data pivoting capabilities. We
have also employed the software to analyse large diverse datasets
containing pre-clinical compound and oral drugs with huge numbers
of biological activities and physical properties. The huge range of
advanced visualisation types and chemistry tools make the
identification of statistically reliable trends in the data
possible. It is our opinion that Vortex is an invaluable tool when
dealing with complex multivariate datasets."
Dr Chanin Nantasenamat, Associate Professor at the Center
of Data Mining and Biomedical Informatics, Faculty of Medical
Technology, Mahidol University, said "Gaining insights from big
biomedical data is no easy task considering the inherent high
dimensionality of data and the scripting required to develop
customised graphs and plots to visualise such information in an
intuitive way. Vortex allows us to rapidly develop tailor-made
graphs in almost an instant, thus eliminating the need to spend
lengthy time coding our own solution. With the great advancements
in technology that further contribute to the generation of ever
more data, Dotmatics help keep us up to pace with making sense of
heaps of data. We also like the fact that Vortex is chemically
aware, further making our analysis of the physicochemical
properties of large libraries of compounds easier."
