Data Integration for the Pharmaceutical Industry: | ||||||||||||||||

Cambridge Healthtech Institute, Wyndham Baltimore Inner Harbor September 24-25, 2003 Effective communication leads to productivity, and well-designed databases can help achieve effective communication, but there is no quick and easy way to design and build databases in biological science. The complexity of biology and the lack of human consensus can create confusion, but with a well-designed database and a creative attitude, objectives can be met. Well-designed, well-integrated information systems can facilitate communication between researchers, which is paramount in the drug development decision making process. First, data must be considered, which includes information architecture, commonality, ontologies, and quality control. Second, integration, extraction, and compilation of data through the pipeline leads to clearer analysis of pre-clinical knowledge and to identification of drug candidates. Finally, understanding this consolidated information drives decisions for productive investments. This is a must-attend meeting for those working with databases, from architects to software engineers, and those working in drug discovery and development, including biologists, chemists, managers, analysts, and end-users. |
