Dave Thompson
I'm an Applications Systems Analyst with a background in both molecular biology and computer programing. I have been working with the BCF since Nov. 2006. I design, develop, and manage robust LIMS (laboratory information systems) to organize data generated by UAGC 's high-throughput, automated workflows. Our systems pair reliable and scalable back-end databases with easy to use RIA web interfaces for our end users.

BCF LIMS help ensure the quality and efficiency of laboratory workflows by supporting the following areas:
  • sample and inventory management
  • assay results data archival, retrieval, quality control, and analysis
  • automated reaction setup
  • billing
 
Some of the projects I am currently working on:
  • GAPSS - Python LIMS server.
  • SLM - Flex RIA front-end to GAPSS.
  • Plater - Python LIMS library used by GAPSS.
  • Ilima - Python/Postgres/Dojo laboratory inventory control.
  • SopWiki - interactive SOP editor with version support and manager approval process based on TWiki.
  • CaLims II - Java based LIMS  being developed by NCICB.
