A TOOL TO STANDARDIZE ASSAY DATA
Explore the new in vitro Pharmacology Assay Repository
The IVP Assay Repository is an essential deliverable of the In Vitro Pharmacology project. Developed through cross-industry collaboration and informed by insights from pharma companies, contract research organizations, enterprise informatics partners, and regulators, the repository standardizes how in vitro pharmacology assays are captured, shared and reused. Ultimately, it helps reduce duplication and supports more efficient research and regulatory processes. The repository is now live and we ask for feedback!
