Abstract
A system and method for designing experiments, preferably in the research and development arena, is disclosed. The system and method of experimental design reduces the time-to-market and costs associated with discovery, pre-development and development of new chemical, pharmaceutical, biological and biotechnological compounds.
Claims6
A system for designing experiments, the system comprising:
- a communications device configured for accepting one or more data inputs establishing one or more experimental boundaries;
- an experiment evaluation device configured for assessing one or more initial experimental boundaries and producing as an output, one or more experimental choices of desired outcomes, said experiment evaluation device in communication with said communications device;
- one or more modeling devices for generating one or more simulated responses for each reaction of an entity under consideration within one or more revised experimentation boundaries;
- a formulation device, in communication with said experiment evaluation device, configured for converting said output into one or more suggested experimental protocols;
- and
- a management device, which receives said one or more suggested experimental protocols and organizes a development process of said entity into usable data.
3 more elements
A computerized method of experimental design, said method comprising the steps of:
- processing input data comprising one or more user defined variables that assist in establishing one or more initial experimental boundaries;
- processing at least one of reference data and experimental data;
- assessing said one or more initial experimental boundaries with reference to said reference data and said experimental data to form one or more revised experimental boundaries;
- and
- simulating one or more scenarios within said one or more revised experimental boundaries to yield one or more experimental choices.
