PROGRAM SUMMARY
Businesses are increasingly using the power of the cloud to make sense of data from all kinds of sources, ranging from social media posts to healthcare. Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than local servers or a personal computer. The global cloud computing market in the healthcare industry has climbed from $1.82 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach $6.79 billion in 2018, growing at a Cagr of 29.9%.
Cloud computing is now beginning to transform the life science industry. It is gaining appeal in the drug industry, and clouds are slowly permeating into the design, management, and execution of clinical trials. In this program we will hear from three companies in the life science industry that are leading in their use of the cloud. They will give us a glimpse into how cloud computing is beginning to transform the industry, from analyzing DNA to monitoring clinical trials.
Life Technologies (now Thermo Fisher Scientific) built its own cloud computing platform for analyzing DNA, which allows scientists the opportunity to collaborate with each other in a cloud environment. Clinovo, a technology-focused Cro, is pioneering in bringing cloud computing to clinical trials. Implementing the right cloud-based solution can be challenging, and we will hear a case study of implementing a cloud-based Edc system for clinical trials in a pharma company.
The Digital Revolution…Increasingly Coming to the Lab
Carlos M. Herrera
Digitalization has already impacted all of us for more than a decade. Most organizations are data rich, but insight poor, but that is changing. We are experiencing a global exponential explosion of data. In 2005, the world produced 130 Exabytes of data; this number grew to 2,800 Eb by 2012, and may be 40,000 by 2020. Current practices and network technologies will not be able to support this challenge.
The information revolution is evolving into the “intelligent” information revolution. Technologies like Cloud Computing, making sense of Big Data, “The Internet of Things” are making it possible to literately “connect the dots” for an unprecedented ability to generate insights. Healthcare and the Life Sciences are key contributors to this revolution. Collaboration and automation in the lab will be increasingly common practice, and ease of accessing data will improve. Come to explore how we fit into this exploding technology wave.
How Biotech Companies Can Get Started with the Cloud for Clinical Trials
Marc Desgrousilliers
Cloud computing is gaining wide appeal in the drug industry, and clouds are slowly permeating into the design, management, and execution of clinical trials. Data from clinical trials stored in different systems are aggregated in the cloud, which offers an efficient means for all parties to communicate. Examples of cloud applications for clinical trials are goBalto (study startup) and Spaulding Clinical (cardiac safety testing). Social media, mobile applications, and the cloud will change how clinical trials are run.
Marc Desgrousilliers, Cto of Clinovo and a pioneer in the application of cloud computing to clinical trials, will discuss how to get started when considering a cloud approach towards clinical trials.

Seeing Through the Clouds: Case Study of a Cloud-Based Edc Implementation
Maryanne Nicosia
This presentation will focus on sharing the knowledge gained during the implementation of a cloud-based Edc system (Medidata Rave®) at a small pharma company. Areas of focus will include: why the particular vendor was chosen, cost vs Roi, implementation and Sop development, training, what worked, and what could have been done differently. The goal is to provide one company’s perspective on why the decision was made to perform the database build and ongoing maintenance in-house rather than being outsourced, and the impact that an Edc system had on the data management and clinical site monitoring processes.
WHO Should ATTEND
All individuals working in the life sciences and healthcare industries who would like to understand the latest technological revolution, the "Internet of things" and how it will impact the life science industry and their work. Scientists, clinical development, clinical research management, study monitors, data management, It, legal, and regulatory affairs.
BENEFITS Of ATTENDING
Get current on an important technological trend and how it will impact the life science industry - and your work
Understand how cloud computing may change the conduct of clinical trials
Engage with leaders who are bringing cloud based approaches to the life sciences and clinical development
Network with a diverse group of professionals in the local life science industry
