The DNS/HMC clinic team is creating testing software to be used by Dart NeuroScience for drug discovery. The project bridges the newly created hardware and the researchers’ language more effectively than the current system. It allows biologists to use their terminology to create new tests without loss of intellectual property. It also provides valuable feedback and flexibility to the researchers that is not present in their current system.
