Services for Examination Analysis Research and Consultation on Health data (SEARCH) allows researchers to submit queries on the AVATAR database to Aster Insights scientific data experts, with results returned in the form of a comprehensive report.

Serving as the nexus of an exclusive collaboration between leading biopharmaceutical companies and prominent cancer centers across the United States, Aster Insights has unique access to consented patient data.

AVATAR is a multimodal longitudinal database designed to support research in target identification, biomarker discovery, and indication strategy. SEARCH is a custom option for expanding your bioinformatics capabilities, without bringing a team in-house.

SEARCH vs AVATAR

Licensing Aster Insights AVATAR database is a great option for companies with the in-house data science expertise to maximize the investment. Alternatively, SEARCH offers companies all of the benefits of AVATAR, helping facilitate decisions on patient stratification, biomarker discovery, and mechanisms of resistance, in a more affordable, flexible service.

Accessing annotated and linked clinicogenomic data from our exclusive, scalable network, by leveraging to data experts in oncology and bioinformatics and omics, helps you fill specific research gaps including

  • Subtyping by RNAseq
  • Gene expression profiling
  • Survival analysis

Efficient and Cost Effective

For smaller projects or companies without an in-house bioinformatics team, SEARCH allows researchers to access critical insights to longitudinal clinical-genomic data on real world patients.
