Team.

Plex was founded in 2017 by pharmaceutical scientists who saw firsthand the challenges of integrating data. 

Plex Research was founded on the notion that more data should mean better medicines.  To accomplish that goal, we are working toward making the world's scientific data findable, accessible, searchable, and tranparent from a single location.
