http://www.benchwise.org/

Repository of peer reviews of antibodies to help scientists find the right tools fast. Researchers from schools including Stanford, Harvard, John Hopkins have contributed reviews of over 1500 antibodies. Most of these reviews contain experimental details that are hard to find in publications and yet crucial for the success of antibody usage. In addition, scientists are enabled to connect through knowledge of expertise, as members are required to use their real names and lab affiliations. BenchWise is currently open to a select list of leading research institutes and is completely free. Scientists waste over 100 hours a year on either bad antibodies or finding out the right antibody usage condition, despite the fact that someone, somewhere likely has already done the same. They want to solve this problem by enabling scientists to share their product usage knowledge. Antibody records that are documented in spreadsheets are also accepted and will be parsed into individual reviews and uploaded to save you time.

http://simbios.stanford.edu/index.html

Simbios is the NIH Center for physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures. Simbios provides infrastructure, software, and training to help biomedical researchers understand biological form and function as they create novel drugs, synthetic tissues, medical devices, and surgical interventions. Simbios is investigating a wide scale of biological structures - from molecules to organisms. Driving biological problems include RNA folding, protein folding, myosin dynamics, cardiovascular dynamics, and neuromuscular biomechanics. Investigators interested in collaborating with Simbios can apply for NIH funding. To encourage collaboration in building accurate biological models and simulations, Simbios also provides the biomedical community with https://simtk.org, a free, secure, distributed, development system for projects. Projects may include models, software, data, documentation, publications, and graphics and have automatic backups and off-site storage. Projects may be public or private and have project-specific mailing lists, forums, bug & feature databases, news, blogs, and source-code repositories. Simbios is developing and disseminating the SimTK core simulation toolkit, (simtk.org/home/simtkcore). SimTK core is open-source software developed by experienced professionals. The software includes advanced capabilities for modeling the geometry and physics of biological systems. To ensure utility and accuracy, the software and training material is being developed and tested in close collaboration with biomedical scientists. Simbios has developed OpenSim, an application for advanced neuromuscular modeling that uses the SimTK toolkit, and is making it openly available at simtk.org/home/opensim. Simbios also publishes the Biomedical Computation Review, a magazine devoted to the science and tools in biocomputation, aimed at the community which encompasses the diverse biocomputation disciplines. To help researchers find high quality software and tools Simbios has also establishes the Simbiome an inventory of high-quality commercial and academic bio-simulation tools. Simbios has recurring openings for postdoctoral researchers.
