Trends in Biotechnology
Notes from the 2009 BIO-IT World Conference & Expo
Great people, fascinating topics in sessions and conversations...we churned through a lot of data (using grey matter and discussion, those fruitful old-fashioned processors) and have arrived at our listing of the top trends in our field....
What we're most excited about
Personalized medicine and next-gen sequencing are the most exciting, and most hyped, things happening in the field. The presence of both was felt at the conference because both require lots of informatics/IT support. As realists, we want to dampen our excitement somewhat because the flood of data (as you'll read about below) doesn't always lead to more knowledge. As optimists, however, we believe that the promise of personalized medicine and the potential illumination yielded by next-gen sequencing are real, not hype alone.
