Bio-IT World Announces Finalists For Best Practices Awards
April 14, 2017 | The finalists for the 2017 Bio-IT World Best Practices competition were announced today. This year, 23 projects from 36 different groups were chosen for the final round of competition. Winners will be announced live at the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo on Thursday, May 25 during the 8 AM plenary keynote session.
Since 2003, the Best Practices Awards have highlighted outstanding examples of how technology innovations and strategic initiatives can be powerful forces for change in the life sciences, from basic biomedical research to drug development and beyond.
This year’s competition displayed an exciting class of entrepreneurs and innovators, from the clinic, lab, and board room, who have developed new approaches to some of the key pain points in research, discovery, and clinical development.
“It is truly inspiring to see the work being done in the field,” said Bio-IT World’s Editorial Director, Allison Proffitt. “We in the Bio-IT World community take pride in promoting collaborative excellence, and the finalists showcased here demonstrate that dedication as well.”
