Pistoia Alliance Conference 2012

"Great to get together and have some shared discussion on open innovation. I expect it will be more interesting than some of BioIT." --Evaluation comment from the Pistoia Alliance Conference 2011

The Pistoia Alliance is pleased to announce its second annual conference and members' meeting. Last year's conference was attended by over 100 scientists and informatics professionals in life science R&D. This year's conference will  feature the announcement of the winners of the Sequence Squeeze competition, demonstrations of the Sequence Services Phase 2 pilots for NGS data, and discussions about new Pistoia Alliance portfolio projects.
