Each of these thematic sections contains news, analysis, interviews, and commentary. Our regular columnists are all here: Mike Greeley’s “Nothing Ventured” and “Insights|Outlook” from Life Science Insights, along with our quarterly “Market Compass” column, anchor the Business + Strategy section. “Fully Equipped” bolsters the Science + Technology department. And “Inside the Box” continues to provide cutting-edge analysis of IT + Informatics deployment. Product news is now spread between the latter two departments.

This issue also sees the launch of our monthly SourceBook section, which provides a resource guide to a key product segment in the life science technology market. All of these changes serve to reiterate our central mission, as summarized by our tagline: Technology Driving Discovery, Development, and Clinical Trials.

We are excited about these changes, and hope you will welcome them. If you have any comments or suggestions, please e-mail me at kevin_davies@bio-itworld.com.
