Recently, many biomedical research teams have moved to working and collaborating remotely, and consequently, online platforms that enable team communication, such as Slack, have become increasingly popular. While many biomedical researchers use Slack for their day-to-day work, there are currently no applications geared towards this field available on the Slack application directory. In order to bridge this gap, we created DrugBot, a Slack application for discovering knowledge about drugs directly within Slack. DrugBot functions include:
- Listening to channel communication or slash commands to trigger the posting of information about single drugs or other small molecules
- Listening to channel communication or slash commands to trigger the posting of information about drug sets, which are analyzed via enrichment analysisOverall, DrugBot is a Slack application that enables Slack users to perform drug centered analyses directly within Slack.
