The company has its office in Kuopio, with close contacts to the University. Visipoint develops and markets software products for data exploration of large data sets. The software products are used in various applications of life sciences (pharmaceutical, environmental, medical). Examples of the applications of bioinformatics are gene expression and 2-D electrophoresis data clustering and visualisation. Product Description Visipoint software is based on tree structured self organizing maps. Visipoint products are developed for personal data mining. They are tools that enable the users, such as biochemists, microbiologists, those who work within -omics and many others, to perform data mining in an interactive way. Visual Data is the main product of Visipoint. It is a general purpose software that has been used to evaluate the potential of different application areas. Among other fields, we have explored the analysis of scientific research data, process analysis in process industry and also business informatics. Bioinformatics Big need of data exploration is in bioinformatics, where huge masses of data are resulting from genetic research, related to various medical or natural science applications. Examples of Visual Data applications are clustering and visualization of 2-D protein gel electrophoresis data and gene expression data. Drug discovery Visual Data is used for drug discovery purposes as a part of the total discovery process for clustering the data obtained for molecule libraries. Further information and testing Visipoint kindly asks You to contact us by e-mail or phone. Our contact person in the fields of this meeting is Dr Olavi Raatikainen, PhD (biochem). Interested in testing Visual Data? Contact Olavi and get free testing period of full version of the software. Back to the group list
