What is BioRails?
BioRails is a powerful, integrated platform designed specifically for biologists performing complex drug discovery processes, particularly in ADME and DMPK research. It features several core modules that streamline and optimize workflows for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical scientists, as well as CROs.
Drug discovery is complex, producing vast, diverse datasets over large timescales. Poor organization and management of data increases costs and timelines. BioRails addresses these challenges by centralizing all project-related data in a secure yet easily accessible repository, giving researchers a holistic view of the data and enabling deeper insights.
With BioRails, researchers can efficiently handle complex experimental designs and collaborative processes. Beyond data management, the platform offers essential tools for assay design, data analysis, inventory management, and more, supporting both in vitro and in vivo experiments.
BioRails simplifies workflow management by facilitating task assignments, scheduling, and reporting, ensuring that every detail is tracked to drive study and project success.
