Case Study: Sarafan ChEM-H accelerates cross-disciplinary R&D collaboration with STARLIMS

Sarafan ChEM-H accelerates PK experiments from one week to the next with STARLIMS

Sarafan ChEM-H's Stanford Innovative Medicines Accelerator faced the challenge of fostering collaboration across its highly interdisciplinary research teams, which included experts in molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics. The organization needed to break down data silos and establish a centralized system for communication and data organization to accelerate its drug discovery prototyping process. To address this, they partnered with vendor STARLIMS and implemented its Labstep Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN).

The solution implemented by STARLIMS provided a user-friendly platform that standardized protocols, nomenclature, and data organization. This enabled seamless knowledge sharing and gave collaborators direct access to data, dramatically accelerating timelines. For example, the Protein Engineering team could now purify a molecule and have it injected into mice for pharmacokinetic studies the very next week. STARLIMS' solution effectively broke down barriers between disciplines, fostering a more collaborative and efficient R&D environment.
