Open science in drug discovery is gaining momentum, and for good reason - when knowledge is shared, research accelerates. It also seems that funding bodies of international research programmes more often than not require programmes to be run as open science. In Denmark, we have seen this ...

Drug discovery is no longer a single-modality game. What once looked like a world dominated by small molecules has evolved into a landscape where antisense oligos, siRNA, peptides, antibodies, etc., coexist in the same pipelines.

Research data is a valuable asset, and ensuring it is findable and accessible to other scientists is, of course, key to maximising its value. However, this alone is not enough. You also need to ensure that it's interoperable and reusable, meaning others can easily understand and use the data.

Most people can see the value of a central database with FAIR data that can be accessed across departments and organisations. It creates the best foundation for an efficient drug discovery process and ultimately increases the chances of getting new medicines to market faster. But while agreeing on ...

We are now two weeks into our new open source grit endeavour. So, what happened after the big launch day? When you spend a lot of time preparing for launching or, in this case, opening, it's always a bit scary. And one is naturally excited to see what will happen. If anything. That would be the ...

In October, we decided to turn our business upside down and offer our main product, the scientific data management platform grit, for free and as open source.

At grit42, we have decided to change direction and offer our Scientific Data Management Platform, grit, as open source. We have done so, because we believe it can prove valuable to both a broad range of pharma and biotech companies as well as academic institutions. We have, ourselves, benefited ...

Sometimes doing things right takes a bit of time. Since we made the decision to open source our grit Scientific Data Management Platform, we've been itching to get the new version ready so that we could offer it to the many people who have fortunately shown interest in it. At the same time, ...

Sustainability in public-private partnership research projects is typically as challenging as it is important, and often, the software or database used in the projects plays a key role.

The VICT3R project aims to replace the use of live animal control groups in animal studies with Virtual Control Groups based on high-quality historical control data.

It feels like we all took a wrong turn somewhere.

It’s been a week since we announced that we will start offering our scientific data management platform, grit, free and open source. And the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Our main product, the grit Scientific Data Management Platform, is about to change. We decided to stop selling the platform on a traditional software license and instead offer it free of charge as open source under a GPL license. Let me share some of the reasoning behind this move. Since the ...

Data scientist: "Do we have room to start an in vivo study with 50 animals in 3 weeks?" Vet: "Well, that depends…" A conversation about animal capacity could very well go something like that when research labs are trying to figure out when and how to start up new animal studies. Because it always ...

grit42 plays a key role in the EU project VICT3R, launched today to reduce the need for animals in medical research. The aim is to replace live animals with virtual control groups that can be used for nonclinical drug and chemical safety evaluation.

Keeping track of internal research data in a drug discovery organisation so that the data is stored in accessible formats and named so that others than the data producer can find, understand and use it can be challenging enough.

There's no point in trying to hide it: Aligning processes and integrating tools in a drug discovery organisation is often a bit of a hassle. It requires resources and discipline, which is why it often doesn't happen.

This video will give you an introduction to the grit project tool and how this support the drug discovery process.

Learn how you can use grit project as an analysis tool in your drug discovery process.

In many drug discovery organisations, analysing and evaluating data is a matter of juggling numerous Excel sheets and manually keeping track of the phases of the screening cascade, comparing compounds, and deciding what compounds to move forward. It’s a widely used practice but the drawback is the ...

New release - April 2024 For details regarding new features please refer to the knowledge base. This is a "stabilising" release with a number of improvements and bugfixes but no new features. We are cleaning up and preparing for the feature we will be adding in the next release

The process of curve fitting is a fundamental step in interpreting data in drug discovery, and the process may seem straightforward:

In drug discovery, laboratories generate a lot of data from various pieces of equipment and data systems. Often this data is formatted for a specific use case making it difficult to use efficiently across systems and teams.

Speed of progress is an important parameter in drug discovery. Not just because moving fast is by default good but because there are several potential business benefits of executing the research work highly efficiently.

Watch this video for a short introduction to our gritInVivo application.

In this video Claus Stie Kallesøe of grit42 introduces the gritAnimal application.

Curve fitting is used as the final data analysis step in many plate-based in vitro experiments and is therefore performed several times per week in most research organisations.

I have been part of the "biopharma data management community" for 25 years and during that period I’ve visited many different labs and seen how they perform their data management - from the smallest academic groups to some of the biggest pharma companies in the world.

Get an introduction to the individual applications in the grit platform and how they fit together.

Excel is a lovely tool which I guess we all use for our small private data overviews and analysis. It's been around for so long that most of us by default reach for "the spreadsheet" whenever we need to keep track of numbers in rows and columns.

It's almost Christmas....but already today - 12/12 - we reveal some goodies from the grit42 lab. We have been a bit silent on the outside as we have been working hard on the inside. The work both focused on the foundation - upgraded and cleaned up the Rails backend and changed front end technology ...
