SAN DIEGO, and ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- SciTegic and NovoDynamics today announce the release of the Decision Trees Collection for SciTegic's data pipelining software, Pipeline Pilot. Based on NovoDynamics' innovative ArborPharm product, the component collection allows high throughput, chemically intelligent mining of large pharmaceutical discovery data sets. The two companies also announce the formation of a co- marketing partnership that will allow SciTegic to exclusively distribute the Decision Trees Collection in the cheminformatics and bioinformatics market places. "We are delighted to partner with NovoDynamics and help introduce their novel technology into the life science market. NovoDynamics' sophisticated recursive partitioning methodology will provide our customers with a powerful new way to analyze their data and build virtual screens to speed their discovery efforts," said Dr. Mathew Hahn, CEO of SciTegic. "This is another example of a growing number of companies providing their application software through the Pipeline Pilot platform." "Pipeline Pilot provides an excellent deployment vehicle for our algorithms," said Don Garaventi, CEO of NovoDynamics. "The ability to graphically prepare workflows that use recursive partitioning and to deploy the resulting virtual screening models through a simple web interface will allow broad access to our methodologies throughout discovery organizations."
