Since its creation, LabKey has partnered with several entities to spread word of open-source [[proteomics]] and other analysis tools to research facilities. In May 2008, LabKey lent support to Seattle businesses Insilicos and the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). The goal of the collaboration was to port proteomics software tools like LabKey Server through Amazon's cloud servers, allowing potential research groups with IT budgets to utilize the proteomics applications and scale up web service as demand grows.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://insilicos.com/news/insilicos-awarded-grant-for-life-science-computing |title=Insilicos Awarded Grant for Life Science Computing |publisher=Insilicos LLC |date=5 May 2008 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.genomeweb.com/informatics/insilicos-partners-labkey-isb-port-proteomics-software-tools-amazon’s-cloud |title=Insilicos Partners with LabKey, ISB to Port Proteomics Software Tools to Amazon’s Cloud |author=Toner, Bernadette |publisher=Genomeweb LLC |date=9 May 2008 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref> A few months later, LabKey announced another collaboration, this time with the Microsoft BioIT Alliance, an association of life science organizations and informatics companies focused on accelerating the pace of drug discovery and development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/google/20080918005145/en |title=LabKey Software Joins BioIT Alliance |publisher=Business Wire |date=18 September 2012 |accessdate=20 April 2012}}</ref>

LabKey Corporation (LabKey Software)[1] partners with biomedical research organizations to develop custom software solutions. These solutions enable scientists to integrate, analyze, and securely share complex research information, helping them broaden their collaborations and gain insight across data silos. LabKey solutions are built on the LabKey Server open source platform,[2] so new users leverage more than a decade of past investment in the system.[3] Taking an open source approach multiplies the benefits of funders’ contributions for the scientific community; improvements to LabKey Server become freely available to all users. [2]

LabKey Software originated at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and has offices in Seattle, Washington and San Diego, CA[3]. Like the majority of open-source businesses, LabKey Software derives its income from support, customization and other services.

History

The open source project that became LabKey Server began in a proteomics lab at the FHCRC in late 2003.[3] In January 2005, the project's founders collaborated with the FHCRC to incorporate LabKey Software (formally "LabKey Corporation") in order to make support and extension services for the platform more easily accessible to groups beyond the FHCRC.[3][4]

In 2011, LabKey Sofware began holding the annual LabKey User Conference to help members of the LabKey Server user community "share their experiences, learn from each other, and apply new knowledge to their scientific data management challenges."[5]

As of mid-2014, over 100 installations of LabKey Server support research organizations all over the world.[6] [7] Many of these groups collaborate with LabKey Software to enhance their data management tools and processes, including the FHCRC, the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), the Collaboration for AIDS Vaccine Discovery (CAVD), NWBioTrust, the Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC), the International Center of Excellence in Malaria Research (ICEMR) at the University of Washington, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Network for Pancreatic Organ Donors (nPOD), and the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN). [5] [7] [8] [9]

In July 2014, the National Academies of Science recognized the ITN's installation of LabKey Server (ITN TrialShare) for exceptional innovation in research data management. ITN TrialShare won the Board on Research and Data and Information contest for the most outstanding model of "Using Data for the Public Good". [10] [11]
