I've been doing algorithmic biotech trading for a while and one thing I kept struggling with was tracking catalysts and PRs in a structured way.

Over time I ended up building a system that:

• tracks biotech catalysts
• tags PRs in real time
• categorizes things like offerings, FDA events, phase 1/2/3 data, etc.
• stores everything in a searchable database/API

Originally this was just for my own trading research, but I figured other biotech traders/researchers might find it useful too.

One interesting thing I found is that PR headline classification alone gets surprisingly far for identifying meaningful biotech events quickly.

I'm curious:

• what tools/workflows are people here currently using?
• what biotech information is still hardest to track efficiently?
• are there specific catalyst types people care most about?

Happy to discuss the technical side too if anyone's interested.
