Distillery Dashboard
A BioCentury Quick Guide
BioCentury's Distillery is a curated collection of top translational studies in the scientific literature identifying new target opportunities, or new technologies for established targets.
Distillery items provide brief summaries of peer-reviewed papers from academia describing preclinical innovations with disease-modifying effects. Each month, BioCentury publishes 20-40 new Distillery items!
The Distillery Dashboard makes it easy to search for innovations in topics of interest, find licensing and partnering opportunities for your portfolios, and build networks in specific geographies, disease areas or target spaces.
Navigating to the Distillery Dashboard
- Hover over Analysis from the top navigation bar and click Distillery.
- Or, go to biocentury.com/Distillery.
Distillery Dashboard
The Distillery Dashboard provides a table showcasing the translational discoveries in each study, the names and locations of the corresponding authors, the targets and diseases being investigated, and the innovation’s licensing status.
- To view a distillery item, which summarizes the most translationally relevant experiments in each study, click the title under the BioCentury Summary column on the left.
- There are many ways to search and filter the dashboard. You can use the search bar above the table to look for specific keywords.
Below the search bar, you can toggle between All Items, Therapeutics Only or Technologies Only for a more specified search. Distillery items on Technologies such as platforms, biomarkers and tools are available through 2019; since then, these innovations have been covered in our Translation in Brief feature.
The Paper date and Geography filters will work on all Distillery articles. The Paper date can filter on a single year or multiple years by marking the checkboxes. You can also click the chevron next to a year to select the specific months you want to focus on.
The Geography filter allows you to find papers based on where the study’s corresponding authors are located. Clicking a chevron will show the available countries in that region for more focused searching.
There are also some new filters for Patent, License, Innovation Type and Experimental System. These filters apply to Distillery items published since 2Q22.
The Patent filter can be used to find a specific patent status, like patented, application filed or status undisclosed, just to name a few.
The License filter has options such as licensed, unlicensed, available for partnering or status undisclosed.
The Innovation Type filter has three options: Biology, Technology and Biology; Technology. Biology innovations identify new targets for a disease, and Technology innovations describe new preclinical therapeutic compounds. Papers in the Distillery may include one innovation type, or both.
The Experimental System filter allows you to narrow down the Distillery items according to the model systems used, with options like Cell Culture, In vitro, Mice and Patient samples.
Finally, the Distillery Dashboard also has an interactive search feature using the region bar graph, institution table or investigator bar graph. Selecting a bar, like for the Americas, or an institution, like Harvard Medical School, will filter the items in the Distillery table accordingly.
The filters work the same way on the Therapeutics Only tab of the Distillery Dashboard. You can also use the links in the Molecular Target table to access the BCIQ target profiles. Check out the Accessing BCIQ Profiles quick guide to learn more about BCIQ Profile Reports
- Toggle the Charts slider in the top left OFF to get rid of the interactive graphs and see only the table of data.
- To export the table to Excel, hover over the table and click the three horizontal dots at the top right corner of the table.
- Click Export Data, choose either Data with current layout or Summarized data and click Export.
