IDBS today announced that the School of Pharmacy at The University of Nottingham (UK) has selected E-WorkBook to meet its data management requirements. The School of Pharmacy sought a solution that could meet three distinct requirements—adherence to good governance procedures, IP protection and visibility, and effective management of research activities.

The University of Nottingham's School of Pharmacy is one of the world's highest ranking schools of pharmacy and has continued to significantly enhance the development of new medicines. The School is recognised for its forward thinking approach and has received a ranking of "international excellence" for its research activities. E-WorkBook provides an efficient solution that will enable up to 300 researchers and managers within the School of Pharmacy to find and protect valuable IP assets, effectively manage all of the School's research activities, whilst also adhering to the highest standards of research governance.

Professor Saul Tendler, Head of School, said "I am really delighted to be working with IDBS on this exciting project. The E-WorkBook will help and support the School in maintaining its position as one of the world's leading Pharmacy Schools."

Neil Kipling, founder and CEO of IDBS commented: "Universities are playing an increasingly important role in promoting global access to essential medicines and are a major contributor to health-related innovations. We are pleased to welcome the School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham to our growing customer base. Following a rigorous tender process, IDBS was selected as the vendor of choice and we are very proud to be working with a leading school of pharmacy to help them become more responsive to the scientific landscape."

LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Integration ServicesIncorporate lab systems, software and equipment with integration services.Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.Electronic Laboratory NotebooksElectronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs) are becoming increasingly popular for documenting experimental processes and for lab data management. An ELN is informatics software which can be biology specific, chemistry specific, cross-disciplinary or web-based. Advantages of an electronic lab notebook include increased data protection, efficiency and straightforward data searching and sharing.
