Anthony Uzzo, President
Anthony Uzzo is President of Core Informatics. He brings
over 12 years of experience in delivering custom Laboratory
Information Management Systems to the biotechnology, pharmaceutical
and academic communities. He has extensive experience in
software engineering, informatics, laboratory automation,
project management and science.
Anthony’s LIMS projects
have focused on a wide range of research needs including
Electronic Document Management Systems built to comply with
21-CFR-11, High Throughput Screening (HTS), Animal Facility
Management, In-vivo Study Management, Laboratory Automation
and Integration, High Throughput Analog Chemistry, Inventory
Management, Gene Expression, Proteomics, and Project Management.
Prior to joining Core Informatics, Anthony was the Associate
Director of Research Informatics at CGI Pharmaceuticals
where he was instrumental in the delivery of a fully integrated
drug discovery LIMS. This system is responsible for managing
all aspects of CGI’s drug discovery process and was
part of the drug discovery foundation that helped CGI raise
$34.9M in Series C capital. In addition, the LIMS at CGI
has enabled scientists to identify drug candidates in each
of CGI’s discovery programs, both of which are nearing
clinical development. Anthony’s work experience reflects
positions of increasing responsibility at CGI Pharmaceuticals,
Verification Technologies, 3rd Millennium and Neurogen Corporation.
He holds a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Boston
University.
Jim Gregory, Chief Software Architect
James Gregory is Chief Software Architect of Core Informatics,
bringing over 16 years of experience in software engineering,
system design, project management and science to Core Informatics.
He has significant experience in both academic and pharmaceutical
research settings.
Jim has led a wide range of informatics projects including
the development of systems for: Automated High Throughput
Screening, High Speed Chemical Synthesis with QC/QA, PK
and In-Vivo Study Management, Archive Reformatting as well
as Data exchange & integration systems to collaborate
with corporate partners.
As head of the Research Informatics department at Neurogen
Corporation, Jim lead a team of software engineers that
developed a fully integrated drug discovery platform that
encompassed all phases of the small molecule drug discovery
process from synthesis, QA/QC, High Throughput Screening,
secondary screening, Drug Metabolism and PK to in-vivo efficacy
studies. This system was a key component of Neurogen’s
AIDD (Accelerated Intelligent Drug Discovery) platform
that was licensed to Pfizer for $29M and has helped Neurogen
raise over $250M and identify more than 10 drug candidates
that entered clinical trials.
Jim’s work experience includes Yale University and
Neurogen Corporation where he worked with increasing levels
of responsibility from biologist to Chief LIMS Architect.
Jim holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology
and computer science from Southern Connecticut State and
Wake Forest University.
