At the upcoming BioIT World conference we will be presenting jointly with Sanofi the results of a collaborative project in screening informatics.
Come and talk to us at the poster session! Poster #19.
Flexible Solution and Integrated Web Interface for Processing and Uploading of Diverse Bioassay Data
The Sanofi Bioassay Data Capture system enables efficient management, processing, analysis, and storage of diverse bioassay data.
The main differentiation requirements vs similar existing commercial applications were: ease of use, fixed but customizable workflow, capable of handling any assay type and any analysis algorithm, strict enforcement of business rules and QA procedures.
We designed and implemented a web application for bioassay data capture by in vitro biologists. Along the way we learned what screening biologists really want in a great web application; we present our findings here.
The key feature of this project is its collaborative nature. Since our research IT group is located onsite with the in vitro group, the collaboration was informal and we could iterate the development very quickly.
The application was built primarily with Pipeline Pilot. Web-based user interface design delivers convenience and user-friendliness without sacrificing performance.
