Find the content you need with Biopharma Search Mode

Save time and find the biopharma content you need.

The amount of information published every day in the biopharma space is overwhelming and hard to skim through.

Today we’re excited to announce the launch of Biopharma Search Mode, a tool that allows you to save time in your research flow. You can drill down into the specific content you want, beyond your existing feeds and sources.

With Biopharma Search Mode, you can find articles you would have not found otherwise, discover new sources and save the pieces of content you find interesting. This feature is available to all Biopharma Enterprise users.

Let’s walk through an example of how you could use Biopharma Search Mode to find articles you need. Imagine you lead an R&D team at a biotech company and you want to learn about the latest breakthroughs related to cell therapies.

Create your search query

First, click on the search icon in the left navigation bar, and select ‘Search Across the Web’.

Type in a topic you want to research and select Biopharma Mode. When you search in Biopharma Mode, you’re searching across sources we’ve preselected based on biopharma users’ favorite industry-specific sources, and you’ll get less noise.

Go to the Power Search and select the Biopharma Mode

You’re in control

Ask Leo to search for “cell therapy” in any of the biopharma sources we curated for you. Create a search query and select “cell therapy” as the topic.

You can refine your query and combine topics with +AND and +OR.

You can create even more targeted queries by selecting the types of publications you want on the left-hand side: pick from 300 science journals, 800 biopharma trade publications, 80 regulatory sources, or 350 healthtech blogs.

For example, use +AND to focus on news related to cell therapies and biopharma companies, and select the Biopharma Business type of publications only.

Refine the search query to cell therapy and biopharma companies among trade publications

Go further and refine your search by excluding certain topics, or by selecting ‘Title Only’ vs ‘Entire Content’. Find more information about how to do this here.

Leo understands biopharma companies

Track your competitors efficiently.

The biopharma space has become more and more competitive. It’s tedious to scan through hundreds of articles every day to track your competitors or find potential partnerships.

We are excited to announce that you can now prioritize biopharma companies with Leo, your AI research assistant.

Let’s walk through an example of how you could use Leo to prioritize news about competitors. Imagine you do market and competitive intelligence at a pharma company and you want to track biopharma companies.

Cut through the noise

You can train Leo to read your biopharma feeds and prioritize articles related to biopharma companies.

Leo prioritizes biopharma companies

Leo continuously reads the thousands of articles published in your feeds. It’s an efficient way to cut through the noise and keep up with the latest news about partnerships, methodologies and clinical trials.

You’re in control

We’ve trained Leo to understand 230 biopharma companies that are categorized into four different types of organizations:

  • The topic “Biopharma companies” allows you to prioritize the top global biopharma companies in the world, including Roche, Pfizer, etc.
  • The topic “Biotech companies” allows you to prioritize the top global biotech firms and startups, including Gilead, Arsenal Bio, etc.
  • The topic “Drug manufacturers” allows you to prioritize the top global drug manufacturing firms and startups, including Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, etc.
  • The topic “Generic pharmaceutical companies” allows you to prioritize the top global generic pharma companies, including Krka, Glenmark, etc.

Asking Leo to prioritize Biopharma companies in any of your biopharma feeds is as simple as creating a new Topic priority and selecting ‘Biopharma companies’ as the topic.

You can look into the companies that belong to those list topics by following this link.

Leo will be looking for all the top global biopharma companies

You can combine topics with +AND and +OR and create even more targeted priorities for Leo. For example, use +AND to focus on news related to breast cancer and biopharma companies.

Refine the priority to biopharma companies and breast neoplasms

If you find that a lot of the information you get about biopharma companies are noisy market reports, you can exclude market reports by using the +NOT in your Leo priority.

Mute out market reports from your Leo priority about biopharma companies

Leo continuously learns

Leo is smart. He continuously learns from your feedback. When Leo is wrong, you can use the ‘Less Like This’ down arrow button to let him know that an article he’s prioritized isn’t about biopharma companies.

Downvote an article to tell Leo when he’s wrong

See how Feedly for Biopharma can help you and your team dig deeper into the competitors you’re tracking.

Leo understands genes

Research genes and learn more about the latest breakthroughs more efficiently.

Drug development is a highly competitive space and the information about gene innovations is scattered across multiples sources, which makes the gene scouting process time consuming and tedious.

We are excited to announce that you can now prioritize genes with Leo, your AI research assistant.

Let’s walk through an example of how you could use Leo to prioritize a gene. Imagine you lead a research program about immuno-oncology at a biotech startup and you want to track any updates about IL33.

Cut through the noise

You can train Leo to read your biopharma feeds and prioritize articles related to IL33.

Leo prioritizes IL33 in your biopharma feeds

Leo continuously reads the thousands of articles published in your feeds. It’s an efficient way to cut through the noise and keep up with the latest news about methodologies and clinical trials.

You’re in control

We’ve trained Leo to understand 42,000 genes and 185,000 aliases from the NCBI database. This database belongs to the US National Library of Medicine and is used by leading websites such as PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov.

Asking Leo to prioritize “IL33” in any of your biopharma feeds is as simple as creating a new Topic priority and selecting “IL33” as the topic.

When you create an “IL33” priority, Leo will be looking for all the aliases of “IL33“. What’s best is that these aliases were all disambiguated, which means Leo knows which aliases refer to genes, and which refer to unrelated topics, so you can be sure you’re prioritizing the right content.

Leo will be looking for IL33 and its 11 aliases as classified by NCBI

You can combine topics with +AND and +OR and create even more targeted priorities for Leo.

Leo continuously learns

Leo is smart. He continuously learns from your feedback. When Leo is wrong, you can use the ‘Less Like This’ down arrow button to let him know that an article he’s prioritized isn’t about cardiovascular diseases.
