BioBook helps biologists manage the unmanageable
IDBS has announced the launch of BioBook, a complex biological data management solution designed to meet the specific needs of research biology
The decision to invest in BioBook was based on the product's flexible structure and its ability to capture complex data in one application, eliminating transcription errors and providing a better quality of data.
Hector Sanchez, senior director R+D Informatics, UCB, commented: "IDBS's ActivityBase is our company repository primarily for all our screening data.
"However, for DMPK and pharmacology we required a solution that would capture both structured and unstructured data which is why we selected BioBook for these disciplines.
"This combination of IDBS products gives us the best of both worlds and provides a complete view on our data, reducing experiment duplication, sharing data across the organisation and freeing scientists from report creation, giving them back vital research hours".
Neil Kipling, founder and CEO of IDBS, commented: "Because of the types of data captured during DMPK and pharmacology studies, these critical research areas are often neglected by other informatics providers.
"Many data management solutions are not specific or flexible enough to handle this complex data.
"IDBS recognised this problem and therefore developed BioBook which provides a tool specifically designed with the needs of these therapeutic areas in mind.
"BioBook delivers the benefits of IP protection, workflow support, compliance and enhanced report generation, as well as offering specific functionality for the biologist.".
