Cloud-based Platform Brings Together Life Science Researchers Worldwide; Fuels Innovation at NCI
“The mission of CCR is to conduct cutting-edge, basic, translational, and clinical cancer research,” said Sherman Tang, Scientist’s NCI Site Director.
Scientist, the pharmaceutical industry’s leading marketplace for scientific services, today announced the creation and launch of ‘Center for Cancer Research’ Exchange (CREx) – an online medical Research Exchange developed in partnership with the Center for Cancer Research (CCR), an Intramural Division of the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
CREx, a Scientist enterprise solution, is a powerful relationship management system that enables NCI scientists to work efficiently with an extended global network of internal and external research partners.
By empowering NCI scientists with easy access to thousands of research experts, we believe CREx will promote innovation and reduce costs at the same time. CREx is an entirely new way for NCI scientists to collaborate effectively with internal and external research partners.
CREx enables research investigators to identify experts, initiate research collaborations, exchange files and track entire projects to completion. Researchers can also view their colleagues’ ratings and reviews and view details of past transactions.
