IDBS has announced that the Australian company, Cancer Therapeutics CRC (CTX), has selected both E-Workbook and Activitybase to manage its drug discovery and development on a global multi-site basis.
CTX invests in newly-discovered drug targets or compounds considered high risk by many biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
Consisting of 11 different organisations collaborating in cancer therapeutics research, CTX works closely with leading Australian researchers and institutes to discover, protect and develop small molecule discoveries into preclinical drug candidates with commercial potential.
CTX chose Activitybase because of positive user experience of the product at other participant CTX organisations.
Seeking to replace its traditional paper lab notebooks with an integrated data management framework, CTX selected the E-Workbook suite to simplify the capture, analysis, storage and retrieval of research data.
The E-Workbook suite can integrate data into one location accessible throughout the organisation, CTX expects to see efficiency gains in terms of project workflow improvements and protection of IP and patent information.
'We receive quality and timely responses from the online support team, and interactions with IDBS technical support staff have been productive and helpful,' said Samantha Smith, operations manager for CTX.
