A BELFAST-based data analysis company is creating eight high-paid jobs through a major investment to enhance its competitiveness within the healthcare market.

Exploristics, who have offices in Belfast and Ballynahinch have announced the additional jobs and investment in R&D in order to secure new business, in a move supported by Invest NI.

The company’s target market is the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries across Europe, USA, Middle East, India and Australia.

Invest NI has provided over £176,941 towards the new roles and R&D to help Exploristics expand its diagnostic capabilities to secure new business.

Previously the business body supported the development of the firm's new software tool KERUS Cloud, which has the potential to triple the company’s turnover over the next two years and transform the speed and efficiency with which new medicines are brought to market.

Dr Aiden Flynn, CEO of Exploristics, founded the business in 2009 and has extensive experience in pharmaceutical development work with major pharma companies.

“Investing in additional staff and R&D was paramount for us to maintain a competitive advantage and fulfil our growth potential.

“The commercialisation and launch of KERUS Cloud is a significant achievement for the business that allows us to expand our customer base and exploit the full commercial opportunities this software presents for us in the personalised medicine market.”

Invest NI’s Director of Life Sciences and Scaling Grainne McVeigh added:

“Despite being a relatively new business, Exploristics is gaining market traction and developing an excellent reputation among large pharmaceutical companies.

“Life and Health Sciences is a priority sector for the Northern Ireland economy and the eight new jobs being recruited at the business are high salaried, skilled positions."
