Developed in partnership with AstraZeneca, the virtual laboratory is a vendor relationship management (VRM) system that gives researchers easy access to a distributed network of thousands of research service providers located inside and outside the company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe brought together features of today\u2019s favorite consumer websites to create a virtual laboratory that empowers scientists,\u201d stated Kevin Lustig, Assay Depot\u2019s CEO. \u201cA small group of talented scientists can now run an entire drug discovery program, from concept to clinic, from a laptop computer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The private virtual laboratory (aka Research Exchange) enables researchers to search for research services and vendors, communicate with experts, purchase services, and rate and review services. In one simple and intuitive interface, scientists identify experts, initiate research collaborations, and track entire projects to completion.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-11529\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Researchers can access the virtual laboratory from anywhere they access the Internet, including tablets and mobile devices. They can view their colleagues\u2019 ratings and reviews, view past transactions and determine at a glance which vendors have current legal agreements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe virtual drug discovery era has arrived,\u201d said Chris Petersen, Assay Depot\u2019s CIO. \u201cEnabling research scientists to access any service and any expert in just a few mouse clicks can dramatically improve productivity, reduce costs and promote innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A private virtual laboratory enables complete transparency across global research operations while retaining local control over research sourcing decisions. It simplifies legal and compliance verification, standardizes sourcing governance and serves as a versatile all-in-one platform that benefits the entire chain of pharmaceutical stakeholders, including discovery research, supply chain and consumer health.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=8da6d0d6-4df5-437d-b097-91ad8c4bb772\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/W8HJLZ8UJwd771p3sEAnQaGntaA\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/W8HJLZ8UJwd771p3sEAnQaGntaA\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/W8HJLZ8UJwd771p3sEAnQaGntaA\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/W8HJLZ8UJwd771p3sEAnQaGntaA\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/CloudNewsDaily\/~4\/sfkMDXQuLzc\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud-based software empowers drug researchers and promotes innovation     SAN DIEGO&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Assay        Depot Inc. today announced the launch of a virtual research        laboratory.
