Description

Research data is the primary deliverable of the MDC and it is essential to have an evident and secure way of its documentation. The data will be used to advance internal capability-build and external feefor-service research projects from a diverse set of scientific technologies, including Mass Spectrometry, Imaging, In-vivo Imaging, Complex Cells, Biomarker and Target Engagement & Validation studies. Consistent with MDC's vision of collaborative working, the platform must enable seamless data sharing of refined data for internal and external projects with scientists and institutions. The software's main task is to document analysed research data and to provide evidence of Good Laboratory Practice as well as improving lab productivity and efficiency, by keeping track of data associated with samples, experiments, laboratory workflows, and instruments. MDC does not currently have a commercial ELN as the previous ELN contract ended in July 2021.
