NAG in Life Sciences

The life sciences increasingly need to manipulate and analyse large amounts of data accurately for which NAG's software is ideally placed to provide a range of solutions. In fact organisations such as Glaxo Wellcome, Pfizer, University Hospital (Switzerland), National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, USA) already depend upon NAG's mathematical and statistical libraries, and the visualization software package, IRIS Explorer™.

Why use NAG

In such a highly competitive market, NAG's tools can offer you a vital edge. NAG draws on its broad experience of numerical and statistical problem solving; thus, for example the solution to a problem for an investment bank in the US can be just as applicable for a life sciences organisation in the UK.

For those who don't want to develop their own application or need advice on numerical analysis NAG offers software development and numeric computation expertise through NAG's Consulting Service.

Life science organizations already draw on the full range of software tools from NAG, particularly visualization and statistical software.

Visualization

The human brain understands images far better than it does numbers. Researchers can often interpret and make decisions far quicker by looking at their data represented in graphical format, rather than as numbers on a page. They can also spot patterns that would otherwise be missed. NAG's longstanding work in the field of data visualization means that the software can be easily implemented and integrated into existing systems. NAG's IRIS Explorer is a simple, yet powerful visualization package designed to do just this.

Statistical Software

To help researchers harness the power of quality statistics; NAG offers a portfolio of impressive statistical software. In whichever manner users feel comfortable working, NAG has the tools to fulfil their statistical needs; whether it is using a complete PC application such as the Statistical Add-Ins for Excel, or using NAG's comprehensive library of statistical components.
