NGS for Drug Developers

Appistry Sponsoring

How do you manage the huge volume of sequencing data? How can you interpret the results efficiently? What’s the actionable hypothesis and where can NGS really add value?

Leading sequencing experts from across the pharma industry will be tackling these problems and others that relate to applying NGS in a meaningful way. Expect open and lively discussion, great networking opportunities and a raft of new solutions and ideas to implement on your return.

TCGC: The Clinical Genome Conference

Appistry Speaking

The free falling cost of whole genome sequencing raises the possibility – some say the inevitability – of applying this revolutionary technology in the clinic. More and more medical geneticists are proposing the idea of a "sequence once, read often" approach to preventive medicine. However, huge challenges spanning the scientific, regulatory, ethical and financial arena's stand in the way of clinical genome sequencing becoming part of mainstream medicine.

TCGC: The Clinical Genome Conference, invites stakeholders from all arenas impacting clinical genomics to share new findings and solutions in advancing the application of clinical genome sequencing.

Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference

Appistry in Attendance

The conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of research findings and methods. An important goal for the conference is to foster long-term collaborative relationships and networking opportunities within the domain of computational approaches to biology. The program will include oral presentations, poster presentations, invited keynote speakers and tutorials.

CIO Global Forum

Appistry Speaking

The CIO Global Forum is a private, invitation-only educational series of events and regional thought leadership roundtables. Each agenda is formulated by thought leaders in business and technology who also donate their time and effort in moderating the sessions, including CIOs, CTOs, CEOs, leading analysts and media figures, and the CIO Global Forum team. The result is a truly unique, peer-based venue that delivers unmatched content, idea generation, and career development opportunities.

2012 GigaOM's Structure:Data

Appistry Speaking

As the volume of enterprise data created has moved past terabytes and into the petabyte scale, companies need to determine the best way for them to store, manage and analyze all that information. Are you sitting on unmined gold? GigaOM's Structure:Data, now a two-day conference, will assemble the world’s leading technologists, practitioners and business leaders to offer solutions to the questions posed by the growth of big data, including storage needs, data analysis and the uncovering of new business opportunities. The conference will be held on March 21 and 22 in New York.

Appistry to Join Other Industry Experts on PubGet’s Panel “Life Science in the Cloud.”

Appistry in Attendance

Sultan Meghji, Appistry's VP of Cloud Applications, will be participating in a panel discussion focused on implementing cloud tools for R&D teams. The event, hosted by PubGet will be held at Mass Bio in Cambridge, MA, on November 16.

Here’s a look into the primary theme of the discussion:

"It's estimated that cloud computing spending will account for 25% of IT expenditure growth in 2012 and nearly a third in 2013. In the life sciences, the amount of data managed by companies doubles about every three months (Bruce Maches, formerly Pfizer, 2011), making the industry prime for adopting secure cloud platforms."
