Tools and resources

To empower cancer research across the international community, the ICR provides public access to many of our unique tools and resources.

Research platforms, knowledgebases and databases

CanSAR

The world’s largest public resource for cancer drug discovery and translational research. Includes a comprehensive, weekly updated target druggabilitry assessment.

CanSAR

Chemical Probes

A portal providing expert guidance and reviews of chemical probes for use in biological research. The gold reference for chemical probes.

Chemical Probes

CanSARS

CanSARS is the Coronavirus research view of canSAR. We provide it freely and openly to the research and drug discovery community to support them in the battle against Covid-19 and other coronaviruses.

CanSARS

Probe Miner

A large-scale, statistical, objective assessment of small molecules for use as chemical probes.

Probe Miner

Switches.ELM

A database that curates experimentally validated motif-based molecular switches and a prediction tool to identify possible switching mechanisms that might regulate a user-submitted motif of interest.

Switches.ELM

Articles.ELM

A resource that simplifies access to protein linear motif literature by annotation, text-mining and classification.
