The application was developed for the Dor Yeshorim project. Dor Yeshorim was built on the premise that recessive genetic disorders, prevalent in Jewish circles, have absolutely no reason to be perpetuated. In fact, as evidenced by the elimination of Tay Sachs, our goal is to eradicate fatal and debilitating recessive genetic disease from the Jewish community through premarital genetic screening, genetic research and the development of reliable testing methods. This took the form of a web based, mission critical, system designed to track the DNA samples input by multiple DNA interpreters, concurrently for a given sample. The system was integrated with a 3rd party system in the US and was utilised by local rabbis to ensure that marriages, within these communities, were approved. Only after genetic analysis of the individuals in question, would a marriage be approved, with the purpose of reducing the occurrences of hereditary diseases, such as cystic fibrosis.

An upgrade of the previous Scrapie testing system to a modular, Enterprise level, application written in VB.Net to support multiple LIMS testing models and custom imports and reports for each.

The Wales Veterinary Science Centre (WVSC) was appointed by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) as a partner provider to deliver expert post-mortem examinations (PMEs) of new and re-emerging diseases of farm animals, contributing to an enhanced UK-wide scanning surveillance network. The WVSC is a not-for-profit company which, in addition providing PMEs, also supports the veterinary and agricultural sectors with other diagnostic laboratory testing, advice and training.

We were tasked with setting up a full laboratory Information Management System for them and provide integration with their 3rd party automated testing machine. This was also extended to provide automated barcode labelling for additional hardware.
