Interview Highlighted in TechEd Keynote sessions Demoed at WPC Keynotes Media Highlights:

The Peter Kuhn Lab at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) Research Focus Early detection and therapy management of cancer patients Modulation of protein interactions for therapeutic intervention Projects Cancer bioengineering partnership Structural Proteomics of SARS

The Problem Laboratory Environment Research teams work in a distributed environment Manual, paper notebooks and prone to error Have stove pipe systems which capture data Status management requires contacting the researcher directly Collaboration Issues Data Recorded on scraps of paper then re-written in lab notebooks Pasting gel/chromatogram pictures in notebooks Too many crystal image files to keep track of & too big Manually linking patient information experimental results No way to electronically search for images

The Solution SharePoint 2007 Collaboration Proven collaborative solution with SharePoint 2007 Data is stored within SPS hierarchy Each Cancer / Sars Entity is a site Provides a secure searchable infrastructure but…

The Challenges of Web Applications Interface isn’t designed to be contextual Requires remembering or finding via urls for each project Application web searches slowed by UI being transmitted with data Does not leverage the power of the client and ability to multi-task Data’s storage format is it’s display format

C-ME WPF Smart Client for SharePoint 2007 Collaborative Client 2D & 3D views at a molecular level Leverage the collaborate environment of SharePoint 2007 Provide data in the context of the project not in the context of it’s storage Allow users to drag and drop data into the context of the project Smart client then handles the display & annotations of the underlying storage Allow user’s to add ad-hoc information

C-ME Goals Integration point Not trying to create the best molecular viewer Not trying to recreate existing annotation tools Provide researchers and research managers a tool for having information available and in context Extend current collaborative tools Provide a virtual project notebook Electronic project status and collaborative records

How the 3d WPF Works…

3D with WPF Check out the method level support for Rotation This is why you should have paid attention in high school calculus..

Collective Molecular Environment

Future Design Considerations Workflow System envisioned for collaboration but fits workflow Researchers submit work for approval Managers notified of progress Tasks added based on results Should new samples be run etc. Alternate views and client interfaces Different requirements for a collaborative environment

The Future: 3D Collaborator Opens AutoCAD *.dwg Files Natively

Existing Prototype Technologies used Rendering Autodesk DWF Toolkit (C++ library) Custom DWF C++/CLI (Managed) wrapper C# WPF 3D rendering User interface Built using WPF XAML skin
