The tools, documents, and open materials I would keep close when working in biotech
FDA and NIH material give the operating frame; scverse and related open tooling show how modern analysis work is actually being done. That combination is useful because it keeps the science and the operational path in the same conversation.
The stack categories worth comparing here:
- literature and prior-art discovery tools
- clinical operations planning systems
- regulatory and documentation workflows
Open materials worth opening side by side:
- scvi-tools: github.com/scverse/scvi-tools
Open source probabilistic tooling for single-cell and spatial omics work.
- Biopython: github.com/biopython/biopython
Still useful as a practical reminder that a lot of bio tooling is public and inspectable.
- FDA drug development and approval process: fda.gov/drugs/development-approval-process-drugs
A grounding document for the path from development to review and approval.
Working documents and guides:
- Addgene protocols: addgene.org/protocols/
Practical wet-lab documentation that is genuinely useful for day-to-day work.
- NCBI Bookshelf: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/
A deep public archive for primers, reference texts, and method overviews.
