IDBS announced today that it has entered into a partnership with Massachusetts-based PharmaEssentia Innovation Research Center (PIRC) on its Polar platform to help digitize data management and facilitate collaboration between the company's global research and development (R&D) teams.
The Polar platform will provide PIRC, the newly established U.S. hub of PharmaEssentia's R&D efforts, the ability to electronically collaborate with its team headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, who have traditionally recorded experimental data on paper.
"The IDBS Polar platform provides superior functionality beyond traditional Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) offerings, backed up by our broad customer base and customer support, as well as the ability to support languages like Mandarin," said Pietro Forgione, General Manager at IDBS. "We are proud to help PIRC better capture, structure and interrogate their key data from a single source of truth, thereby making their collaboration more efficient."
"We are looking forward to partnering with IDBS, not only to implement the Polar platform to help us manage our data more efficiently and to more seamlessly collaborate with our R&D team in Taipei, but also to work together to further explore ways to bring our innovative therapeutics to market faster," said Lih-Ling Lin, Ph.D., PIRC Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, PharmaEssentia.
