Guest: Jonathan Rothberg, PhD -- Founder/CEO Ion Torrent Systems; Founder Curagen, 454 Life Sciences, RainDance
Topic: Moore's Law and the Future of Genome Sequencing
Commentator: Kevin Davies, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief, Bio-IT World
Conference: CHI's Exploring Next-Generation Sequencing – Providence; September 21, 2009
Length: 12:37

Summary: Ten years ago, a family emergency provided the spark for Jonathan Rothberg to conceive 454 Life Sciences, the first next-genration sequencing technology to reach the market. Rothberg's platform has produced many scientific highlights, including groundbreaking work on the Neanderthal genome, metagenomics, disappearing honey bees, transplantation mishaps, and of course Jim Watson's genome. Rothberg reflects on the past decade and offers a glimpse at his new project, Ion Torrent Systems.

Protect Your Scientific Intellectual Property: Proof of Lab Informatics Data Authenticity is Your Best Legal Defense
Sponsored by Surety, LLC

As a bio-technology or life sciences organization, your formulas, treatments and research and discoveries are the “lifeblood” of your business. But if you aren't protecting the integrity of your scientific data in your lab informatics systems, you risk losing IP ownership, revenue and consequently your business if you can't prove time-of-creation and data authenticity. Learn how you can implement simple, cost-effective and automated controls to protect your scientific intellectual property. Consider:

  • IP protection requirements in bio-pharma and other science-oriented industries can extend out 20, 30, 40 or more years
  • Most electronic lab management solutions include generic authenticity controls, so how "legally defensible" is yours?
  • Only standards-compliant, independent controls can future-proof your approach to long-term IP integrity protection and authenticity.
