BioIT World 2021 (online & in-person)
The Bio-IT World Conference and Expo has been the world’s premier event showcasing technologies and analytic approaches that solve problems, accelerate science, and drive the future of precision medicine. Bio-IT World unites a community of leading life sciences, pharmaceutical, clinical, healthcare, informatics and technology experts in the field of biomedical research, drug discovery & development, and healthcare from around the world. This year’s event will be held online, with an in-person meeting held simultaneously in Boston, US.
Digital Science is proud to be supporting the 2021 Conference and Expo as a virtual Gold Sponsor, with an online booth, as well as presenting two sessions during the event. If you are attending in person, look out for our colleagues from Readcube (part of the Digital Science family) who have also registered to attend.
Tuesday 21 September at 4:35 pm – 5:05 pm EDT
‘Trust in Data, Integrity in Science’
Leslie D. McIntosh, PhD, CEO, Ripeta
Transparent research practices and the sharing of research data, protocols, and code accelerate scientific advancements and solve real-world problems in healthcare, the environment, and society. Yet, broad, open, research sharing has presented trust issues, particularly with limited checks on scientific integrity. This workshop will engage attendees on common trustbusters in open science and dive deep into the taxonomy of trust – providing research integrity recommendations and best practices.
Wednesday 22 September at 11:25 am – 11:55 am EDT
‘Empowered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) on raw full text: From hundreds of thousands of scientific articles to specific biomarkers for exploration in a clinical setting’
Join us for a 30-minute presentation as part of the virtual Clinical Research Informatics (CLN) conference program.This will demonstrate the power of Dimensions (part of the Digital Science family) in a clinical research setting where existing solutions can’t help. We will be joined by Jenny Ghith, from the Pfizer Global Scientific Publications Team, who will talk about a specific application of the AI-based literature interrogation method that was used to help researchers identify trends in the literature and clinical trial databases that are of scientific interest in oncology for further clinical investigation and development.
