Examining the Unique Challenges of Specimen Collection and Banking for Life Sciences Discovery and Clinical Operations
Large-scale research in genomics and proteomics and clinical development for tomorrow's drugs and medical treatments, especially with the emergence of biomarker research and personalized medicine, necessitates accurate, compliant and efficient management of biospecimens. Accordingly, LabVantage and IBM are sponsoring a BioBanking Webcast to examine the unique challenges of specimen collection and banking for life sciences discovery and clinical operations.
Featured speaker, Dan Friedman, Associate Director, Informatics, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, discusses:
the particular challenges faced at Millennium in connection with its biorepository and management of biospecimens for clinical operations and discovery;
the key technologies and features/functionality considered to address Millennium’s needs;
the ROI analysis in connection with the internal ‘‘build vs buy’’ decision; and
the solution successfully implemented by Millennium.
This event is sponsored by Labvantage Solutions, Inc. and IBM® and is hosted by Bio-IT World.
