Good news! Drugref.org, the collaborative pharmaceutical reference database, is going along nicely.

We have achieved official support from the RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) University in the form of 6 advanced computer sciences / engineering students working for drugref.org for 3 semesters. They will improve our online infrastructure and develop applications for peer review of the database.

We also have indications of similar support from the University of South Australia and the University of Tasmania, details to be negotiated soon.

Furthermore, we have the first two drugs being “adopted” for ongoing database maintenance (Sertraline and Sildenafil) by committed individual doctors, and we have started entering drug-drug interaction information.
