LabKey Corporation (operating as LabKey Software[1]) partners with biomedical research organizations to develop custom software solutions in order to help scientists integrate, analyze, and securely share complex research information; broaden their collaborations; and gain insight across data silos.

LabKey solutions are built on the LabKey Server open-source platform, which has been developed for over 10 years.[2][3] LabKey Software originated at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and has offices in Seattle, Washington and San Diego, California[3]. Like the majority of businesses developing and distributing open-source software, LabKey Software derives its income from support, customization, and other services.[4]

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 in order to make support and extension services for the platform more easily accessible to groups beyond the FHCRC.[3][5]

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."[6]

As of mid-2014, over 100 installations of LabKey Server support research organizations all over the world.[7][8] 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).[6][8][9][10]

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. The installation also won the Board on Research and Data and Information contest for the most outstanding model of "Using Data for the Public Good."[11]

Technology

LabKey Server is an open-source laboratory information management system (LIMS) "that helps scientists organize, analyze, and share biomedical research data."[12] It can be downloaded and installed on your own or be hosted as a SaaS offering by LabKey Software.[13]
