The DrugBank curation team (comprising bioinformaticians, trained pharmacists and individuals with undergraduate or graduate degrees in pharmacology or biochemistry) is jointly managed by the University of Alberta and by OMx Personal Health Analytics Inc. Both sites have implemented a rigorous curator training program spanning a period of roughly two months. During this time, trainees progress from dedicated learning of DrugBank's data and platforms, through to small curation projects under the supervision of a senior curator, to independent curation work (which is always peer reviewed by members of the independent curator team).
