Storing, analyzing and managing the big data sets that are being created around genomics for drug development has created challenges for the biopharma industry. Some leaders in the field, including Google and the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA, have been battering down some of these barriers, making it possible to explore the data for clues about new drug development opportunities. FierceBiotech has gathered the leaders in the field to discuss what's being done with Big Data, how that relates to large and small developers alike and where this important sector is headed in the next 10 years.
FierceBiotech Editor-in-Chief John Carroll is joined by a distinguished panel of experts including David Glazer, engineering director at Google; Anthony Philippakis, chief data officer at the Broad Institute; Atul Butte, director of the UCSF Institute for Computational Health Sciences; Michael Pellini, president and CEO of Foundation Medicine; and Matthew Trunnell, vice president and CIO of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
