March 20, 2007 You are cordially invited to join Microsoft, industry experts and your peers as Microsoft presents BioIT Forum, April 19, 2007 in Mountain View CA.

 

We have put together an intriguing agenda featuring our special guest, Dr. Tim Hunkapiller, presenting �The $1,000 Genome � What Will It Mean, What Will It Take, and When Will it Happen?�. Dr. Hunkapiller has been a pioneering presence in computational biotechnology since its infancy 30 years ago and is co-inventor of the largest selling analytical research instrument in the world: the Perkin Elmer/Applied Biosystems DNA sequencer.

 

We will also present a number of Microsoft technologies that are directly relevant to Life Science discovery and development. This event is an opportunity to understand how the current generation of Microsoft technology can accelerate the discovery process. Seating is limited so please register early to guarantee your place.

November, 2003  discovery biosciences announces  discoverySource

 

discovery biosciences announces discoverySource, a suite of technology source materials available in text and SQL-ready formats.  These will be primarily text-based corpora that can be searched and mined directly with many commercial tools, including our own discoveryView text mining system.  Our first release is the complete text source of US patents since 1976 in the least expensive, cleanest and most easily accessible format available anywhere - even the patent office.  Up until now, these data have been available through the US Patent Office in a hodgepodge of  tape and disk formats depending on the years included.  Most patent search companies no longer provide external copies, requiring expensive on-line service charges.  This makes it nearly impossible to develop and validate new mining algorithms on these critical data.  We have now taken these data and provide a common, readable format ready for import into an SQL-based system or used as flat text delivered on a single Firewire and/or USB2.0 hard disk drive, readable on essentially any computer by just plugging it in.  We have also "cleaned" the data to better insure consistency in dates and references.  Updates will be available as well.  We deliver this resource at a fraction of the cost that one would pay the USPTO for just the raw text (and un-cleaned) on multiple tapes (DLT) and DVDs.  We use this same resource in our discoveryView text mining system and are making it available here for those with their own interests and needs in large text corpora or the patent database in particular.  We will be adding new source materials in the near future.  Please email or call us for pricing and delivery schedules.  full story...

NW MIT Enterprise Forum Presents:

The Next Disruptive Technology - Bio-informatics: The Convergence of Info Tech and Bio Tech
Location : Bellevue Hyatt Regency, 900 Bellevue Way NE

As industry giants like IBM and Compaq pour $100 million each into research projects on biotechnology, many questions are raised. What are the practical applications? How will it improve our quality of life? What does the hybrid of information technology and biotechnology � called bioinformatics � mean for our economy, for the Pacific Northwest and for you in particular? 

On September 19th, the MIT Enterprise Forum and the Washington Biotechnology and Biomedical Association will assemble a panel of experts to offer pivotal perspectives on this fast-emerging field. Panelists include: 

Moderator: 
Bruce Carter, President and CEO, Zymogenetics 

Panelists: 
Jeff Augen, Director - Business Strategy Life Sciences, Blue Gene, IBM 
Tim Hunkapiller, President and CSO, Discovery Biosciences
