Is Excel Holding Back Your Research? Managing Data During Drug Development

Excel plays a critical role in research and development. Everyone from undergraduate students to elite pharmaceutical chemists relies on the program to process, analyze, and store their data. Unfortunately, spreadsheets are not designed to work with chemical information or support collaborative workflows. What’s the alternative?

Season 3 of the Analytical Wavelength brings unique perspectives from our team of experts who are working at the frontier of chemistry. In this episode, we talk to Application Scientist Alex Waked about his peer-reviewed paper “Consolidating and Managing Data for Drug Development within a Pharmaceutical Laboratory” that discusses data management issues in pharmaceutical development.

Listen, and learn how chemical development researchers can overcome Excel’s data management issues.
