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.
