Collaboration that delivers
Creating a new industry standard
As part of our flagship IDMP Ontology project which is leading the way in developing a digital, machine-processable standard in support of new regulations, we launched IDMP Ontology 1.0 covering all five ISO IDMP standards and won a prestigious 2024 Bio-IT World Innovative Practices Award for pre-competitive collaboration.
Accelerating the use of RWD/RWE
We published a peer-reviewed paper in Frontiers in Medicine on Patient Listening on Social Media for Patient-focused Drug Development.
Creating an industry first cloud-based platform
Our Methods Hub project achieved an industry first with a cloud-based collaborative tool that enables instant transfer and overlaying of analytical methods and results data in a single platform for cross-company use.
Developing champions of Inclusion and Diversity
We trained over 80 individuals from 29 companies across the world through our dedicated Diversity & Inclusion in Leadership program.
Accelerating the implementation of FAIR principles
We have helped the life sciences industry implement the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles by developing a FAIR Maturity Model, FAIR Toolkit and FAIR4Clin, a guide that discusses the value of the FAIR principles for clinical data.
Driving the adoption of emerging technologies in the laboratory
For two years running we have conducted a widely publicized annual Lab of the Future report in partnership with Lab of the Future Congress to support the adoption of emerging technologies such as AI and ML.
Ensuring User Experience is fit for the digital future
We have developed a Toolkit and numerous guides to support User Experience in R&D life sciences.
Creating a library of hazardous chemical reactions
We have created a Chemical Safety Library of hazardous reactions, improving laboratory safety for scientists working on breakthrough innovations worldwide.
Unlocking the value of data in Electronic Lab Networks
We have helped the life sciences industry unlock the value of data in Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN) using data standards and semantic enrichment.
Developing HELM notation
We created and established Hierarchical Editing Language for Macromolecules (HELM) as the industry’s complex biomolecule notation of choice.
Collaborating to improve the exchange of experimental information
We created an open, extendable, and freely available Unified Data Model for the exchange of experimental information about compound synthesis and testing.
Advancing antibody drug discovery
We generated novel Ab structures and addressed the need for improved Ab structural data sharing to accelerate drug discovery through our AbVance project.
Creating best practices for the ethical use of digital health data
We published best practice guidelines for the storage of collected sensor-generated data from remote modelling technologies through our Quality Generation and Ethical Use of Digital Health Data in Clinical Studies (QDatE) project.
Establishing best practices for ontologies mapping
We established best practices and tool recommendations for the application, management and mapping of ontologies in life sciences.
Creating an interface with research-led patient charities
We established an important interface between the biopharmaceutical industry and research-led patient organizations and medical research charities and published a peer reviewed paper.
Supporting the adoption of Informed Consent Blockchain
We built a blockchain solution for Informed Consent in clinical trials and implemented key components of decentralized digital identities.
