Arizona State University Improves Project Team Collaboration and Compliance with Scientific Software
The Center for Applied NanoBioscience specializes in the discovery of new molecular biology and genomics. It encompasses academic research and development teams working in coordination with the federal government and industrial partners. The Scientific Software ECM platform will serve as a secure, web-based, centralized repository for new research project documents and data for engineers, biologists and genomic scientists who are in geographically dispersed project teams.
“Our vision is to be the leader in seamlessly transferring new innovations from academic prototyping to commercialization,” said Dr. Frederic Zenhausen, director of the center and a professor of electrical and chemical engineering at ASU’s Fulton School of Engineering.
“The Scientific Software ECM platform is a strategic component in our IT infrastructure helping engineers, scientists and professors improve productivity by securely accessing the latest discoveries and research data via the web, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for ISO 9001 and the FDAs GMP/GLP and 21 CFR Part 11”, said Dr. Carl Yamashiro, product development leader at the center.
The center is an academic research hotbed focused on three initiatives funded by the federal government and private industry over the next several years, including:
* Development of new polymer-based electronic technology
* Biological and genomic research and development for new diagnostic platforms
* Development of new forensic molecular fingerprinting technology
Each of these initiatives involves complex interactions between many research centers including Columbia University, Harvard University, The Translational Genomic Research Institute ( TGen ) and other Arizona State University departments, requiring a secure environment to protect intellectual property and promote productivity and process efficiency.
“The Center for Applied NanoBioscience is such a content rich, yet distributed organization and the management of its intellectual property and innovations is critical to ensure their success," said Dr. Soheil Saadat, president and CEO of Scientific Software, Inc. "By implementing a centralized, secure ECM repository for project documents and key data leveraging document management and workflow features from Scientific Software, the center can remain confident their information is being managed to help ensure regulatory compliance.”
About the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University
The research of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University is aimed at preventing and curing disease, overcoming the pain and limitations of injury, renewing and sustaining the environment, and securing a safer world. The institute integrates leading-edge research in biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, agriculture, environmental science, electronics, materials science, engineering and computing. The interdisciplinary structure of the institute is designed to accelerate discoveries and translate them into applications that can be adopted by the private sector. These highly diverse disciplines are unified by a focus on the function and structure of living systems. The institute is led by George Poste, a world-renowned scientist and policy maker with four decades of experience spanning academia, industry and government. 30.03.2005, Scientific Software, Inc.
