There are over 700 core labs and facilities in the U.S. and they are the backbones of the R&D world. A core lab is typically part of an academic organization, serving institutional researchers working in individual laboratories as well as providing services for external customers. Core labs frequently are subject matter experts when it comes to equipment and techniques. As a result, the impact of core labs extends beyond their immediate institutions; so do the business challenges they face.April 11, 2018 - Evaluating Legacy LIMS Part 1: Re-engineering Your System
The first laboratory information management systems (LIMS) were designed as simple tracking tools that enabled systematic control of workflows in regulated laboratories. More recently, LIMS have evolved into something more akin to an enterprise resource planning tool for the lab that has the ability to manage many different aspects of operations across the full data lifecycle – resource management/scheduling, assay data management, data mining, data analysis, case-centric clinical data, and electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) integration.…
April 9, 2018 - Taking a look at the massive open online course (MOOC): My experience with edX
On several occasions over the past few years, I’ve put my prior experience as an English teacher and tutor to work, developing basic online course content for clients using learning management tools such as Moodle and LearnDash. This teaching and online course development experience, paired with two years of taking online courses through a community college, has helped shape my opinions concerning online learning. But what of these massive open online courses (MOOCs) that have been gaining in popularity? How do they compare to taking a formal online course through a university of community college? What platforms do they use, and how is the material presented?
I decided to give edX a try for my first MOOC experience.
March 28, 2018 - Ensuring Data Integrity with the Allotrope Framework
Data integrity is a hot topic in 2018 and for good reason. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies produce an enormous amount of experimental R&D data. The sheer volume and complexity of the data makes managing this critical asset challenging.March 28, 2018 - Effectively Storing and Sharing Biological Data for Clinical Research
Though biobanking—the practice of managing biological specimens and data for current or future medical research—has been around for many decades, the field has changed significantly since the completion of the Human Genome Project in the early 2000s. Advanced analytical techniques, high-tech tools, and mountains of data have made their way into modern biobanking, with the rapid changes both inspiring and perplexing clinical researchers looking for answers.March 28, 2018 - Our March 2018 newsletter is now out.

March 07, 2018
Biobanking plays a critical role in facilitating clinical research. It provides better opportunities for advancing community health by the collection and preservation of biospecimens such as blood, plasma, tissues, and DNA. These biospecimens are then made available for use in research to discover disease biomarkers that can be used to diagnose various phases of diseases, oversee severity of diseases and predicting drug responses.
