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
C-ME Architecture
• Smart client for rich visual experience and ease of finding information
• XML Web Service interfaces
• SharePoint 2007 for storing data, documents and Metadata
• No custom SQL structures

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
