BIOVIA Webinar: Timely Batch Release Don’t Let Your QC Labs Slow You Down
​
Many Quality Control (QC) laboratories in pharma- and biomanufacturing have not yet achieved digital transformation yet. In fact, many are still using paper and basic generic tools. This leads to cumbersome and time-consuming quality testing. Sampling and test execution, data entry and review, reporting and documentation, approval and certification—QC Labs need to accomplish all these steps according to defined procedures and in compliance with regulations. It is impossible to do so efficiently without a true digital system.
True digitalization—connecting people, processes, and data together—is the best way to improve productivity and enhance regulatory compliance. Open, platform-based solutions enable standardization, data aggregation through common models, and integrated analytics and visualizations. In this webinar our panel of experts will articulate a realistic and achievable vision for QC labs that will help increase productivity for timely batch release while improving data integrity and regulatory compliance.

PerkinElmer, KML Vision, Altis Labs & Confocal Webinar: Imaging and the Incredible Impact on Science
​
Imaging is one of the most exciting and fast-evolving fields in science today. These diverse companies are making a huge impact across the drug discovery continuum.
In the cellular space, “seeing is believing” started with the advent of fluorescent proteins and now genetic markers and microscopy technology have enabled a deeper understanding of cellular architectures. Techniques such as cell painting and high-content screening are making huge impacts. What is more amazing than visualizing diverse proteins interacting to trigger signaling cascades? Incredibly advanced yet user-friendly microscopes provide a whole new perspective (no pun intended!) into wound healing, cytotoxicity, cell cycle, and cell death, among many other cellular processes. The combination of microscopy and other techniques, including AI/ML approaches, opens new avenues of research to characterize novel mechanisms and drugs in all kinds of primary cell types and cell lines.
In the clinical arena, radiological and pathological imaging have seen an explosion of novel tools that offer diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and monitoring insights. While imaging has been used for decades in clinical trials, its interpretation was historically limited by arbitrary criteria like RECIST. Now, scientists have the capability to capitalize on the full breadth of pixel data and automatically derive quantitative, reproducible measures using deep learning and computer vision. Imagine being able to give researchers twice as accurate a measure of treatment effect, or arming a clinician with actionable insights that let them personalize treatment for the patient in front of them!
This webinar will feature four companies that are disrupting the way we look at our cells and anatomy with innovative technologies and solutions. Learn how Altis Labs, Confocal.nl, KML Vision, and Perkin Elmer are advancing our understanding of biological processes to accelerate therapeutic development!

Elucidata's Liver OmixAtlas: The World's Most Comprehensive & Curated Liver Tissue-Derived Data
Every year, vast amounts of biological multi-omics data are being generated in academic labs and organizations worldwide. This data holds tremendous potential for reuse but is scattered across multiple, disparate sources and lacks standardization. Thus, the availability of data does not equate to its easy usability, making the need for an efficient means of exploring molecular data an immediate necessity.
Additionally, biological systems and processes are intrinsically complex. No single data type, be it metabolomic, proteomic or genomic, will be sufficient to capture the complexity of biological phenomena. Adopting an integrated approach could significantly aid the ability to gain a holistic and more accurate understanding of physiology and disease pathology at the molecular level.
Elucidata’s Liver OmixAtlas, the largest, multi-omics data repository of liver tissue-derived data, aims to address these issues. It contains FAIR molecular data (Genomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics, and Metabolomics) from various public sources, encompassing normal as well as perturbed (disease, drug treatment, gene knockouts/down, etc.) states of liver tissue. Adherence to FAIR principles ensures that the curated data is harmonized and ML-ready. In keeping with the rapid pace of biological data generation, OmixAtlas is updated with a frequency that is in sync with the source repositories.
Data integrability is another key feature of OmixAtlas. FAIR data enables any number of harmonized omics data to be integrated and analyzed, thereby enriching the process of data exploration and insight discovery. In addition to publicly available data, proprietary data can also be analyzed with customized workflows on our cloud-based platform, Polly. Polly’s cloud infrastructure enables seamless data analysis, visualization and sharing by offering a toolbox of scalable, easy to customize, bioinformatics pipelines. Liver OmixAtlas, thus, will accelerate the process of deriving unique insights.

Making HTE Easier and More Accessible to Scientists
​
The benefits of high throughput experimentation cannot be overstated. In R&D organizations, where trial & error is a part of a scientist’s everyday life, nothing can be better than having the ability to test multiple knowledge-driven hypotheses simultaneously. Yet, there are still many lab-based chemists that will serially test their synthetic hypotheses (new transformations, reactivity, solvent effects, etc), often over-stressing how the results of each experiment will provide important learnings for future iterations. While this is arguably true, a well-designed array of carefully controlled experiments, will almost always supply you with improved conditions for a specific transformation, and usually faster than any serial journey of single reactions. So, if that is true, more often than not, then why do researchers resist efficiency and reproducibility and default to what is familiar - serial experiments? One simple answer is basic human behavior - our aversion to change.
For change to occur in any organization, there must be a demonstrable benefit to the individual scientist, as well as the collective organization, but maybe more important than that, the cost of change, cannot exceed the benefit to those being asked to change their work routines. In this case the cost to those making the changes is perceived and real, as measured by personal frustration and by temporary productivity loss during the sometimes-unavoidable transition period. Lowering the cost of this change by simplifying the integration and adoption of semi-automated and automated kit, and improved software to easily orchestrate and capture experimental results into daily workflows, is a paramount objective for both software and hardware suppliers.
In this webinar suppliers ACD/Labs (https://www.acdlabs.com), Chemspeed Technologies (https://www.chemspeed.com), ILS (https://www.integratedlabsolutions.com), and Sapio Sciences(www.sapiosciences.om) will describe their efforts to simplify acceptance so that, when appropriate, high throughput experimentation becomes the default choice for scientists!

LeapYear, the Most Compelling Data Privatization Company for R&D
​
In today’s highly complex Biopharmaceutical Research and Development Environment, Data is the common entity that drives Ideation, Simulation, Design, Synthesis, Analysis, and further Integrated Decision making. These highly complex data-driven organizations are challenged by not only the types of data (RCT, RWE, Omics) but the origin of data and the right to use this data (consent) in various scenarios, further complicated by geographical barriers or rules. For years organizations and groups have relied on data anonymization to prevent data origin or any potential personal details from being known. Simply put, this does not meet today's security criteria. LeapYear (https://leapyear.io) has developed algorithms that not only ensure data privacy but also enable model quality data for use in machine learning.
​
The combination of regulatory frameworks (GDPR) and public perception makes ensuring proper use/handling of this data a strategic priority.  However, leadership must balance the governance costs (time, restricting access, duplication of effort, removing info) with the validity/usefulness/timeliness of the data.
We will discuss several high-value use cases that are enabled by implementing a new data exchange/sharing/access model based on LeapYear:
-
Working with sensitive data assets like RWE and Genomic data across teams and geographic boundaries.  Key outcome: enabling more teams to have more access to data, faster, and with full fidelity
-
Third-party data acquisition - helping teams both deal with the data they already acquire (in a more valuable, more private way) and helping them get access to more data (e.g. from healthcare providers) that may be impossible to get access to without a mechanism like differential privacy.  
-
Crossing lines of business - R&D teams can be broken into specialty areas, and therefore hard to share data across lines. But this data could be used to drive initiatives across lines.  Commercial teams are often restricted from seeing much of the data from the R&D side, but this data may be useful to analyze real outcomes in the world and drive important analysis like market share, customer churn, prescription trends, etc.  Key outcome:  enabling the pharma, across all teams, to fully leverage their data assets.
