Why flexible plate mapping matters for therapeutic antibody secondary screens
Therapeutic antibodies are a revolutionary drug class that can treat a wide range of diseases. Secondary screens characterize the functional properties of candidate antibodies, narrowing the pool to those most likely to succeed in clinical trials. The wide range of micro-plate based assays that can test hundreds of variables at once requires accurate and complex plate maps that capture a variety of plate re-array options. Using LIMSense™, a modern LIMS from AduroSys, can ensure you keep track of all of your samples and identify the best antibodies for further development. [Read More]

Shared metadata for data-centric materials science
In this 2023 paper published in the journal Scientific Data, Ghiringhelli et al. present the results of an international workshop of materials scientists who came together to discuss metadata and data formats as they relate to data sharing in materials science. With a focus on the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), the authors introduce the concept of materials science data management needs, and the value of metadata towards making shareable data FAIR. They then go into specific use cases, such as electronic-structure calculations, potential-energy sampling, and managing metadata for computational workflows. They also address the nuances of file formats and metadata schemas as they relate to those file formats. They clise with an outlook on the use of ontologies in materials science, followed by conclusions, with a heavy emphasis on "the importance of developing a hierarchical and modular metadata schema in order to represent the complexity of materials science data and allow for access, reproduction, and repurposing of data, from single-structure calculations to complex workflows." They add: "the biggest benefit of meeting the interoperability challenge will be to allow for routine comparisons between computational evaluations and experimental observations."
