Scientist.com Unveils Elisa: An LLM-Powered Research Assistant for Scientists in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industries

Business Wire
Scientist.com, the world’s leading marketplace for biopharma
research, today announced the launch of a new large language model
(LLM)-powered research assistant called Elisa, named in homage to a
widely used research assay and to ELIZA, an early 1960s chatbot.
Elisa is the newest addition to a suite of proprietary AI-powered
apps created by Scientist.com to improve and accelerate drug
research. Marketplace users can now benefit from a powerful,
scalable, and intuitive LLM assistant that understands the nuances
of pharmaceutical research and has been trained on Scientist.com’s
public data sources.
“Elisa is a bridge between advanced technology and our
customers, providing them with instant access to marketplace
information and a conversational interface that understands their
research needs,” said Chris Petersen, Founder and CTO of
Scientist.com. “It’s the latest in a series of LLM-powered tools
we’ve built to help life science researchers run their drug
discovery programs faster and at lower cost.”
Elisa addresses three key challenges for pharma and biotech
companies integrating large language models into their
operations:
1. It guarantees complete privacy and
confidentiality of all data.
2. It provides a cost-efficient solution with
the capabilities and flexibility of high-end platforms like Azure
or Amazon.
3. It eliminates the need for extensive
technical expertise to develop and operate a private LLM on your
own infrastructure.
Other LLM-enabled tools on the Scientist.com marketplace help
marketplace users negotiate pricing with suppliers, respond quickly
to supplier messages, find services and products, and understand
legal agreements.
The company also uses machine learning algorithms trained on
nearly a decade of marketplace data to create proprietary
predictive models that help researchers find and evaluate the best
technology and labs for their research needs as well as forecast
supplier performance once the research project is initiated. These
include the Tumor Model FinderTM, which compares DNA sequencing
data on 10,000 oncology models to help researchers identify and
purchase the most appropriate model.
