UBC Acquires Computerized Cognitive Testing Capability

Dec 7 | eCliniqua | With its recent acquisition of Cognitive Drug Research, Ltd. (CDR), United BioSource Corp. (UBC) gained a new way to help life science companies optimize the outcomes of clinical trials. CDR technology enables trial sponsors to recognize the best potential drug candidates earlier, more precisely identify both desired and unwanted cognitive effects, and bring anti-dementia drugs and other “cognition enhancers” to market with higher success rates and fewer study subjects, says Keith Wesnes, practice leader for UBC’s Specialty Clinical Services.

The Workflow Driven Lab
Sponsored by Sapio Sciences

Many companies have recognized that their internal business units operate as a set of business processes. These business processes are also called workflows. Modern Laboratories are highly suitable to this workflow driven approach. In fact, the lab environments successful operation is predicated on the successful definition and adherence to workflows. It could be said that a modern  laboratory is an advanced process implementing construct. It is important that laboratory management software mirrors the process driven nature of the lab thereby increasing automation, shortening learning curves, improving data quality and increasing lab throughput.

  • The modern laboratory is an advanced workflow implementing construct
  • Laboratory Management Software solutions should fully embrace and mirror this process driven approach
  • Effective information management of workflow processes with a LIMS results in increased automation, reduced training curves, better data quality and increased lab throughput
