Compendia Bioscience
plans to use $3 million in newly acquired venture capital to create another 20 jobs in Ann Arbor, more than doubling its current staff.
Most of that $3 million, $1.75 million of it, comes from
Michigan's 21st Century Jobs Fund
. The rest is matching funds the bio IT firm has raised on its own.
Compendia Bioscience, only 2 years old, has established itself as a leader in research-centric software development. Its products help researchers sift through mounds of biological data, enabling them to find answers to clinical questions quicker.
The company counts 12 of the Top 20 cancer biopharmaceutical firms and more than 12,000 academics as customers. Compendia Bioscience's Oncomine product is now an important tool for cancer researchers in both academia and drug-development companies. The company hopes to expand this platform for research on other diseases and use it to develop intellectual property.
