AstraZeneca Health Connect Us All
AstraZeneca is a biopharmaceutical company with Research and Development at
its core. Our business is providing innovative, effective medicines that make a real
difference to patients. We focus on six important areas of healthcare.
In R&D, we invest over $4 billion every year and with over 15,000 professionals
in 8 countries, on 3 continents, accessing and leveraging information is key.

Virtual Team Connected By Passion
To build our applications rapidly, we supplement our team with external experts,
including running competitions on open innovation platform like TopCoder.
External Data Sources Easily Connected
In R&D, we have over 200 million documents in publications, patents and
conference abstracts. Having a historical perspective can help when designing
business intelligence applications like breaking science or target selection

Internal Data Sources Security & Access Control
Department
Fileshares
The richest, most valuable content is our internal data sources. Our systems
adheres to our security controls – you only find what you have access to…
R&D Search Screenshot
We automatically search other synonyms like
Vandetanib and internal identifiers such as ZD6474
Top hits are now key relevant scientific documents
R&D vocabs are dispayed, from brand, disease,
scientists & mechanisms such as EGFR and VEGFR
R&D Search can handle a number of languages
Developed new approaches within Sinequa to allow easy vocabulary curation. --
Tagging scores allow us to identify documents with no tags or too many tags
Hiearchical synonym trees help to rapidly identify problem terms like ‘when’
Individual documents display number of synonym occurrences.
R&D Vocabularies Screenshot
Focused on vocabularies that are important to scientists :-
Drugs Diseases Genes MicroRNA
People Companies Organisms Cell-lines
Cell types Technology Skills Safety Mechanisms
R&D Department Screenshot
Teams can search across this rich internal content and find not just relevant
documents but also other drugs, mechanisms and even people to help.
R&D Journal Screenshot
Developed to look like an external scientific journal, R&D Journal provides a mechanism within AstraZeneca where our scientists can publish articles and experimental reports that can be shared and pushed out to other members of the department Other users can add ratings and comments, as well as sign up for alerts and search across this content
R&D Labs Mobile Access To Apps
Currently piloting Amazon web-services with Ping Federate (authentication) and Data Power (access), to enabled mobile applications to query against our search index: drug repositioning life cycle management external KOL identification conference capture breaking science chemical search
R&D Experts Find & Connect within AZ & MedImmune
Experts allows R&D to find and connect to the
key experts on any scientific topic.
Minimise duplication

Next Steps More Business Applications
Deliver applications that use analytics across the entire document index such as
drug repositioning and external KOL identification, made mobile.
Next Steps More Search Widgets
Further collaborate with Sinequa to implement other features around
visualisation, feedback & commenting and new search relevancy algorithms
