Why should I attend Discovery Knowledge & Informatics?

Pharma IQs 3rd Annual DKI event will present a platform at which to discuss and draw new inspiration from the most time specific innovations in knowledge and data management within the pharmaceutical industry. With increasing pressure to cut drug discovery timelines, ensuring you employ a valid knowledge management system is no longer just an option, it is a necessity.

What will I take away by attending Discovery Knowledge & Informatics?

• Improve your decision making capabilities by incorporating innovative IT into your data management strategy with guidance from Merck & Co.
• Cut drug discovery times by enabling your scientists to extract vital aspects of underlying information through blending data handling systems into everyday scientific practice
• Facilitate a faster drug candidate transfer between Discovery and Development by aiding leaner bidirectional transfer of data between the two arenas with key strategies highlighted by Abbott Laboratories
• Increase the rate of access to dispersed or discrete data and information by harnessing the possibilities semantics and ontology have to offer with key insights from the University of Cambridge
• Enable the identification of key trends between incongruent data by increasing your visualisation capabilities; benefit from Array Biopharma’s time specific case study
