Functionality to support workflows ranging from agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and basic research

Life science is the application of biology in a wide variety of industries and academic institutes. Including areas ranging from agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and DNA technologies, life science comprises of a broad range of research activities.

Recent advances in methodologies have resulted in increased data volumes, as well as more contextually rich data formats. Subsequent management of these outputs, to support decision-making, represents a significant challenge. Combinations of text, image, numeric and proprietary file formats must be managed, stored and reported on without the requirement for multiple tools and applications. Furthermore, the ability to share information in a meaningful and secure way has become increasingly necessary, as laboratories and companies look towards collaboration.

IDBS offers a range of application suites to support a plethora of specific workflows, ranging from screening, biofuels production, genome wide association and preclinical research by using a combination of domain specific functionality allied with enterprise level data management expertise. This not only supports the specific workflow of the scientist, but also gives users access to all available data assets.
