David H. Murdock Research Institute Partners with ArtusLabs for Cross Disciplinary Electronic Lab Notebook

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ArtusLabs, Inc. (www.artuslabs.com), today announced a partnership with the David H. Murdock Research Institute (DHMRI) (www.dhmri.org), to enable groundbreaking research at the North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC). Funded through a private grant by David H. Murdock, DHMRI is a 501©(3) organization has state of the art infrastructure and capabilities. DHMRI is a catalyst in the development of NCRC as a world class life sciences research campus advancing collaborations at the public-private interface with a scientific focus at the intersection of human health, nutrition, and agriculture. DHMRI’s partnership with ArtusLabs focuses on the use of the Ensemble Electronic Lab Notebook™ (E2LN™) platform.

DHMRI will use Ensemble Electronic Lab Notebook™ (E2LN™) to capture DHMRI’s experimental data, results and decision support needs for each laboratory. The Ensemble E2LN™ is a web deployed third generation ELN that blends high usability at the bench with collaboration technologies. This combination makes data and documents available for use for critical scientific decision making. The same deployment and platform will also support the disaster recovery needs of DHMRI.

Valerie Risch, CIO, DHMRI says, “Ensemble is an incredibly powerful system and is unique in that it can support both scientific and business processes. We are excited about working with ArtusLabs as we continue to explore other capabilities within the Ensemble platform.”

“Data management and analyses are critical components, necessary to ensure we meet the requirements of our diverse scientific customers. In a single platform, Ensemble provides a unified environment powering both the Electronic Lab Notebook as well as a diversified system for handling disaster recovery information and documentation. In addition, Ensemble ELN provides us a critical platform that will support the changing needs of our diverse set of labs from ‘omics to imaging,” said Mark Burke, Director of Informatics of DHMRI.

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with DHMRI. Their mission of supporting groundbreaking research using a trans-disciplinary, multi-institutional collaborative research perfectly aligns with the key differentiators of Ensemble Electronic Lab Notebook,” said Robin Smith, CEO of ArtusLabs.
