LONDON & BOSTON & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#biopharma--Evaluate, a leading provider of commercial intelligence and predictive analytics to the pharmaceutical industry, is delighted to announce that it has completed the acquisition of Bioscience Advisors Inc. (Biosci), a California-based data company focused on biopharma alliances. The acquisition will significantly expand the richness and quantity of biopharma deal data available to Evaluate clients, furthering Evaluate’s mission to provide the most complete and dynamic valuations of pharmaceutical assets.

Founded in 2011, Biosci is best known for their leading BiosciDB database, the most comprehensive reference database on biopharma alliances. BiosciDB provides access to three decades of publicly filed biopharma deals, including 11,000 unredacted contracts. As a result, biopharma dealmakers and their advisors can easily inspect key deal provisions, find relevant deal comparables, compare financial terms and identify best practices in deal drafting.

Biopharma partnerships and alliances play a vital role in advancing scientific innovation and delivering life-altering therapeutics to patients. As new drug technologies change the treatment landscape and the structure and scope of dealmaking evolves, increased visibility into deal activity is critical for companies of all sizes to negotiate and structure mutually beneficial relationships.

Mark Edwards, Founder of Biosci said: “Evaluate provides gold-standard commercial insights to the pharmaceutical industry, and I’m delighted that our BiosciDB offering is now part of their impressive commercial intelligence portfolio. We’ve built a unique, high-quality database of biopharma alliances that I know will deliver increased insight to their clients.”
