Big data is creating new IT infrastructure challenges by increasing performance demands and adding management complexity. An ideal solution tightly integrates servers, storage, and network elements to optimize performance and reduce administrative chores. This white paper discusses how Accunet architected a new infrastructure for NCI for its big data efforts.

Genomics has revolutionized the life sciences industry, enabling the visionary science envisioned by the Human Genome Project. No other industry has seen processing speed advancements and the corresponding costs drop as significantly as genomics. Now with next-generation sequencing (NGS) providing the ability to sequence entire genomes rapidly and at low cost, organizations are now wondering how they will handle the related samples, processes and data in an NGS lab.  This whitepaper outlines the important considerations for managing NGS lab operations in both a research and clinical context so NGS lab managers know what to consider when seeking a LIMS/ELN solution.

This exclusive survey is the first in an annual series of reports in which we will diagnose key trends in the life sciences IT space by interviewing key opinion leaders in the industry.

In January 2013, eCliniqua and BioClinica conducted a survey within the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector on Clinical Trial Management Systems.  The purpose of the study was to determine how clinical trial management systems are used, what types, and for which purposes as well as the processes used within the organizations of the respondents.

The purpose of the study was to determine present and planned usage, and purchasing insight into high-performance computing (HPC) products (servers, storage, software, computing infrastructure) used in driving scientific work related to drug discovery, development and clinical trials.
