BIO•IT WORLD EXPO’S “BEST OF SHOW”
At the CHI Bio•IT World Conference & Expo, a team of judges chose organizations releasing the “Best of Show” new products from offerings from more than 30 exhibitors.

The winners in four categories:

• IT Infrastructure
Isilon Systems; Isilon IQ with OneFS 4.5

• Life Science Software and Informatics
Ingenuity Systems; Ingenuity Pathways Analysis 5.0

• Notebooks & LIMS
Rescentris; CERF V 2.6

• eClinical Technologies
Tessella; Adaptive Trials Simulation Toolkit V 1.0

NAME CHANGE
Gene-IT has changed its name to GenomeQuest, the name of its flagship IP product. President/CEO Ron Ronauro said the new name better communicates the company's mission to provide search technology to organize genetic sequence data. (See “The Quest to Make Sequence Sense,” Bio•IT World, Nov. 2006)

LIBRARY ACQUISITION
BioServe has acquired Genomics Collaborative, a commercial biobank of human samples and data. Previously owned by SeraCare Life Sciences, Genomics Collaborative facilitates biomarker discovery and validation through its Global RepositoryR, a library of 600,000 DNA, tissue, and serum samples. BioServe will grant access to the repository through its existing fee for service program.

Rising Clinical Trial Delays and Costs - Addressing the Cause, Not the Symptoms

Protocol complexity is taking a toll on clinical study speed and efficiency: increasingly complicated and ambitious protocols are not only burdening sites and study volunteers but are also prolonging trials and increasing expenses. In response, sponsors have turned to global study placement, restructured site relationships and new site management practices, but the problem remains.

This podcast will discuss:

Why these responses address only the symptoms, not the underlying cause, of rising clinical trial delays and costs.
Results of a recent joint Tufts University / Medidata Solutions study.
New metrics benchmarking protocol design trends.
Systematic protocol design improvements and why they are essential to clinical trial performance excellence.

Speakers: Ken Getz, Senior Research Fellow at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, and Ed Seguine, General Manager, Trial Planning Solutions at Medidata.
