PREMIER Biosoft Announces Collaboration With University of Utah to Advance Metabolomics and Lipidomics Research

Palo Alto, CA, August 6, 2015 (Newswire.com) - PREMIER Biosoft today announced that it has entered into a formal collaboration with the University of Utah to provide advanced mass spectrometry data analysis solutions for metabolomics and lipidomics. 

Under the alliance, PREMIER Biosoft will work closely with the Metabolomics, Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics Core Facility at the University of Utah to power research in small molecules. Dr. James Cox, who heads the facility and currently serves as a Research Assistant Professor of Biochemistry & Core Director will work with PREMIER Biosoft to render more accurate data analysis using the experimental data and digital signatures observed. He has over 16 years of experience in MS arena with a Ph.D in Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

The collaboration is based on a long-standing relationship with the University and Dr. James Cox. We look forward to taking this relationship to the next level through mutually beneficial research in small molecules
