Stargaze discovers biotech trends and innovators in the life sciences

It's a new tool from Portal Innovations that will soon have a major presence in Atlanta.

Stargaze is a new groundbreaking artificial intelligence/machine learning tool crafted by the venture team at Portal Innovations that is aimed at discovering biotech trends and innovators in the life sciences.

Led by Steve Lehmann, Senior Director of Venture, Stargaze is described as envisioning “biotechnology as a universe containing millions of stars, where each ‘star’ is a patent, a paper, a grant, a clinical trial, an inventor, or a company. Like in our real universe, these stars form galaxies that move, collide, change shape, heat up, and cool down. Stargaze resolves their coordinates, measures their properties, and models their motion.”

Portal, which will be opening its Atlanta office this quarter in the Science Square development, has recently used Stargaze to create an atlas of researchers most likely to generate breakthrough innovations, uncover under-the-radar technologies in hot areas like nucleic-acid delivery, and predict innovation trends in non-coastal geographies.
