Listen to the Interview of Kay Brown, The Founder of Premier Biosoft International.
As promised in previous audio blogs we have branched out and took the opportunity to interview the founder of an extremely impressive company within the bioinformatics field.
Kay took the morning to speak with us about her company and how they serve the researchers. Here is a little info about Premier Biosoft.
Premier Biosoft International was founded by Kay Brown in 1994. Over these years, Premier Biosoft has grown into one of the leading Bioinformatics companies in the world. Their Product line includes nine products addressing the research needs in genomics and Proteomics. Premier Biosoft`s first product, Primer Premier, was a runaway success with sales in thousands of labs across the globe. Since then, the product has undergone five enhancements. Beacon Designer, the company’s product for real time PCR, is the most widely used oligo design product for real time PCR. All major cycler companies, including Bio-Rad, Stratagene and Eppendorf offer the product along with their instruments. It is currently in its seventh enhancement.
Some of Premier Biosoft`s prestigious clients include the National Institute of Health(USA), The Food And Drug Administration (FDA), Universities such as Stanford, MIT, Tulane, Oxford and Pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Merck, Johnson & Johnson.
With the focus now shifting from Genomics to Proteomics, Premier Biosoft has marked its entry into this arena with the launch of SimGlycan. It is aimed to aid research in Glycobiology by predicting glycan structures using MS/MS data. SimGlycan has the largest hand curated database of glycans and has proprietary search and scoring algorithms to help save time.
Take a few minutes to listen to this interview. It turned out even better than I had expected, As Kay Brown is incredibly informative and keenly has a finger on the pulse of the science of Glycomics.
