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.

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.
