The 8th Bioinformatics Strategy Meeting Europe focuses on 6 key topics; Big Data/Data Management, Cloud Computing and Mobile Analytics, Next Generation Sequencing, Data Integration/Mining, Data Visualisation and Artificial Intelligence.
Join us in Zurich on the 5th of March 2018. Listen to Genestack CEO Dr Misha Kapushesky present “A collaborative ecosystem can be the answer” at 14.00 and network with industry experts from Roche, Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer and many more.
** UPDATE **
Dr Misha Kapushesky will also be leading a roundtable discussion on “Big Data Usage and its Challenges” at 11 am and discussing three main topics:
Data Tax: Although most pharmaceutical companies already use platforms that allow them to store and manipulate data, there is a growing trend for the vendors who create these systems to use “data blocking”. The idea behind this is that they charge companies to export the data from their systems, meaning that the sharing of this data with other companies can become a significant expense.
Challenges in Format: As with every industry, the use of standardized data formatting is key to easy share-ability and usability. The issue that the pharmaceutical industry is currently facing is that this is not always the case.
Application Limitation: Most applications for the collection and storage of data are created with specific questions in mind before the data is collected. For instance, if you are collecting data to look at the potential side effects of a new drug or the reduction in signs of a specific disease, the data collected is going to be significantly different and specific to those use cases.
