A Medical Decision Support System That Learns

Bio-IT World | Best Practices | “Wouldn’t it be great if we could [build a system] that ‘learned’ every time a patient walked in the door?” asks Jeff Barrett, director, Pediatric Pharmacology Research Unit, at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, or CHOP.

GenomeQuest on Cloud Mine for Next-Generation Sequencing Data

Bio-IT World | GenomeQuest has launched GenomeQuest 6.0Beta, a new sequence data management solution that provides a web accessible, cloud computing environment for researchers to “align and mine” next generation sequencing data. According to president/CEO Ron Ranauro, “GenomeQuest has built the first commercial application-specific cloud for biocomputing."

 

Jumping on Next-Gen Sequence Data Analysis

Bio-IT World | Best Practices | In 2007, the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, established the Schizophrenia Genome Project. Taking Illumina GA sequence data, NCGR scientists used a combination of homegrown software to develop a streamlined workflow for huge amounts of next-generation sequencing data.

Carpenter Builds Open Source Imaging Software

Bio-IT World | Best Practices | Anne Carpenter trained as a traditional cell biologist specializing in microscopy with no intention of writing image analysis software. “It wasn’t until I needed software to do something that existing commercial software couldn’t do that I became interested in writing software myself,” says Carpenter. The genesis of CellProfiler was “completely out of necessity.”

Pathway Genomics Joins the Direct-to-Consumer Genomics Parade

Bio-IT World | San Diego-based Pathway Genomics officially joined the clutch of consumer genomics companies today, offering what one advisor termed a “faster, cheaper, better” model for personal genomics thanks in part to the firm’s own CLIA-certified lab housing multiple genotyping platforms, and an initial health/ancestry offering of less than $350.

SURETY-IP_WPx108
Protect Your Scientific Intellectual Property: Proof of Lab Informatics Data Authenticity is Your Best Legal Defense
Sponsored by Surety, LLC

As a bio-technology or life sciences organization, your formulas, treatments and research and discoveries are the “lifeblood” of your business. But if you aren't protecting the integrity of your scientific data in your lab informatics systems, you risk losing IP ownership, revenue and consequently your business if you can't prove time-of-creation and data authenticity. Learn how you can implement simple, cost-effective and automated controls to protect your scientific intellectual property. Consider:

  • IP protection requirements in bio-pharma and other science-oriented industries can extend out 20, 30, 40 or more years
  • Most electronic lab management solutions include generic authenticity controls, so how "legally defensible" is yours?
  • Only standards-compliant, independent controls can future-proof your approach to long-term IP integrity protection and authenticity.
