Shire has chosen IDBS' hosted e-workbook suite to facilitate a 'virtual model' for drug discovery, particularly in its collaborations with contract research organizations (CROs). This hosted solution will reduce the IT footprint for Shire and its partners and enable streamlined data sharing while protecting intellectual property. The implementation of the e-workbook is expected to enhance collaboration and improve research efficiency in pharmaceutical development.
