Life Sciences Innovation Forum
January 26-27, 2012
Marriott Forrestal Village Conference Center
Princeton, NJ
Harness Innovation in a Shifting Global Business Climate
The Life Science business environment and model is in a state of accelerating change. More drug approvals occurred in 2011 than any other year in the past decade. This brings some very exciting new opportunities to our industry. The traditional operating model separating Payers, Providers, and Government Health Agencies is under increasing pressures from globalization, healthcare reform, demographic shifts, and emerging healthcare technologies. The Life Sciences Innovation Forum addresses how to excel in this shifting global climate and features the following presentations:
- Maintain Patient/Physician Relationships- Building Community and Complying with New Regulations
- Craig H. Lipset, Head of Clinical Innovation, Development Operations within Worldwide Research & Development, PFIZER INC.
- Extending the Innovation Network for Capability Enhancement and to Optimize Spending
- Terri A. Roberson, MT (ASCP), M.B.A. Sr. Director, Operations Global External Research and Development Lilly Research Laboratories, ELI LILLY AND COMPANY
- Utilize Collaborative Technologies to Enable Virtual Collaboration and Training
- Mike Wilkinson, CIO, PPD
- Leveraging Structured Content from Protocol through Submission
- Michael Robbins, Domain Leader, TIM-Solutions Delivery and Integration, Clinical Study Management , SANOFI U.S.
- Achieve Compliant Collaboration through Enhanced Document Management at your Organization
- Patricia Brady, International Clinical Trial Manager, SANOFI U.S.
- What's Next: A Glimpse into Microsoft's Health & Wellness Research
- Dennis Schmuland MD FAAFP, Chief Health Strategy Officer, MICROSOFT HEALTH AND LIFE SCIENCES
- And much more!

BioIT ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Spring 2012
Join us for this informative, 1-day event.
It is with great regret that the BioIT Alliance Board of Directors must announce the postponement of the BioIT Alliance 2011 Annual Conference originally scheduled for November 3rd in Iselin, NJ. The Board has made this decision in light of the recent weather related challenges in the Northeast, such as power outages and travel delays. We understand the value of this annual conference to the attendees, and as a result plan to reschedule this conference for the spring of 2012.
The BioIT Alliance is an independent, non-profit organization, which is both a standards organization and an alliance of companies focused on collaborating together to help enable translational medicine. The ultimate goal is to enable communication and collaboration technologies from different vendors to interoperate across different clouds, communication devices and media types.
The BioIT Alliance is focused on developing standards for translational medicine, and driving efficiencies between medicine and research using standards in information technology. The goal is to break down the walls that currently exist between disparate instruments, informatics and analytics and in doing so to speed delivery of new and novel medicines directly to the patient.
This conference will shed light on ways that different organizations are breaking down those barriers to enabling personalized medicine. This event will benefit researchers, scientists and engineers focused on biopharmaceuticals, genomics, LIMS and ELN, and EMR.
Previous conferences have featured presentations from organizations such as Roche, CDISC, Pistoia Alliance, HL7, Microsoft Research and others.
The conference will focus on the intersection of Health IT and Pharmaceutical Research, specifically looking at the different aspects of Translational Medicine, the ways in which research organizations are looking to speed translational medicine and the ways in which technology standards can play a role.

.NET Bio Workshop
December 5-6, 2011 - Redmond, WA
Hosted by Microsoft
.NET Bio is a bioinformatics toolkit, built as an extension to the Microsoft .NET Framework, and initially aimed at the area of Genomics research. It is comprised of a library of basic bioinformatics functions that makes it simple for a programmer to build genomics and other life science applications on the Windows platform. .NET Bio is available under the Apache 2.0 open source software license, and so may be used free of charge by both commercial and non-commercial users.
About the Course
This is a two day course, by the end of the course, attendees will be able to build their own simple bioinformatics applications to run on the Windows platform. The course covers basic use of the Visual Studio programming environment and the C# programming language as well as providing an overview of the features of the .NET Bio library. Attendees will learn through a mixture of presentations and hands-on practical sessions.

WORKSHOP: October 20-21, 2011 - San Diego, California
Building upon Microsoft Biology Foundation using Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET 4.0
An open source project for bioinformatics research
Microsoft hosted a two-day workshop on the Microsoft Biology Foundation (MBF), an open-source Microsoft .NET library and application programming interface for bioinformatics research. The MBF workshop will take place October 20 and 21, 2011, at University of California, San Diego. On both days, the workshop will start at 9:00 A.M. and end at approximately 5:00 P.M. It will include a quick introduction to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, the Microsoft .NET Framework, C#, and the MBF object model. Attendees will participate in hands-on labs and write a sample application that employs the file parsers, algorithms, and web connectors in MBF.

WEBINAR: June 7, 2011
Making complex data understandable and accessible at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to enable Translational Research
How Thermo Fisher and CHOP are using translational medicine
The challenge of making complex data understandable and accessible to biomedical researchers is common across a variety of domains. Informatics organizations need to enable investigators to take advantage of exponential growth in volume and complexity of data sets available from sophisticated electronic health records and next-generation genomic sequencing technologies. To that end, this webinar discussed Children's Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) recent deployment of an enterprise-class Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and how they partnered with Thermo Fisher Scientific to develop new functionality to advance clinical and translational research. It also described CHOP’s opt-in approach to user adoption and best practices for implementation of informatics solutions in this environment.

WEBINAR: June 28, 2011
Designing an IT environment to facilitate Translational Research
How HP is working to combat cancer through translational medicine
One of the most significant challenges facing healthcare today is how to analyze and interpret the explosion in genomic data which, ironically, is only slowly making its way into clinical practice. While likely to impact every field of medicine over the next several years, this challenge is already apparent in the field of cancer care, in which the practice of "personalized medicine" is having a significant impact on patient outcomes. In this session, you'll learn how MD Anderson has strategically used technology to design a centralized and virtualized private cloud environment to facilitate breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care.
