One of Cancer Research UK’s core-funded institutes, the Beatson Institute of Cancer Research , is consolidating its Drug Discovery Programme (DDP) and RNAi Screening Facility (RSF) biological data in a centralised, fully searchable database that can be accessed via a flexible and configurable web interface.

During the past five years, the DDP and RSF groups have invested in the complete Dotmatics suite of informatics solutions, and thanks to the suite’s modular nature, have quickly added new capabilities as and when needed. The latest addition – a comprehensive biologics registration system dubbed Bio Register – is being implemented with a view to improving the tracking and traceability of vital biological components like protein expression, purification, cell line and biological reagents.
