TELECOMWORLDWIRE-8 July 2008-Access to essential biomedical research to be expanded through collaboration by Collexis Holdings Inc and JISC Collections(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Collexis Holdings Inc (OTCBB:CLXS), which develops software that supports the market-building tools to search and mine sets of information, reported yesterday (7 July) that in order to encourage collaboration and expand scientific knowledge amongst the biomedical research community in the UK, it has signed an agreement with JISC Collections for an online resource.

Researchers, teaching staff and students at universities and research councils in the UK, will be able to access Collexis' Expert Profiling, for a subscription fees. Expert profiles of investigators, researchers and departments can be created using the Collexis system and subscribing institutions may disseminate ground-breaking research and biomedical advances. The profiles are generated using researchers' publications from a variety of sources and are then available to all researchers, allowing them to find what is being published, what researchers are active and the pace of research in a particular area of interest.

In addition, other research organisations and universities worldwide, such as the Mayo Clinic Libraries; Johns Hopkins University; Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the University of California, San Francisco; the University of South Carolina; Lockheed Martin; World Health Organization, National Institutes of Health; and US Department of Defence, will also benefit from Collexis' technology.
