Abstract

We present Unified Resource Browser, a web-based framework designed to optimize the configuration, exploration, visualization, and dissemination of complex biomedical metadata. As a core component of Neuroanatomy-Anchored Information Management Platform (NIMP), Unified Resource Browser enables researchers to efficiently access donor information, brain tissue samples, and sequencing data through structured resource tables and advanced search and filtering capabilities. The platform allows users to customize data views, share configurations via direct links, and seamlessly export data for further analysis. Integrated visualization tools offer immediate insights through customizable charts, enhancing data interpretation. By improving the accessibility and usability of biomedical data resources, Unified Resource Browser fosters collaborative research and advances discoveries in brain structure and function.
