ANDROMEDA - Illuminate collaborative research
In the context of early drug discovery research, effective cooperation among all key actors, namely chemists, biologists, and in silico researchers, is crucial. However, information sharing can rapidly become challenging due to the utilization of diverse tools and media by each discipline for the storage and exchange of their primary scientific outcomes. While chemical library software exists, its usage remains constrained by inherent limitations that restrict data sharing capabilities, a lack of sufficient ease of use within an entire laboratory, or financial burdens that are difficult to assume at the academic level.
To address these challenges, we develop ANDROMEDA, a drug discovery library software that unifies laboratory data with computational drug discovery. ANDROMEDA offers a multidisciplinary and collaborative solution through a local, secure web application without any installation required.
Key features and advantages
➜ Data centralization
ANDROMEDA records and tracks synthesis and vendor information , in vitro and in vivo biological activities , and physical product traceability.
➜ Advanced collaborative tools
The software features chemistry and biology lab notebooks, shared chat and calendars across projects, financial monitoring, and improved project management.
➜ Secure student access
Allows students to add data without accessing sensitive information, requiring mandatory approval of their entries by a supervisor.
➜ Integrated in silico predictions
Easy and simplified access to predictive tools like molecular docking, metabolites prediction, and ADMET properties.
