Location: Virtual
IBM invites you to attend the complimentary Life Sciences Virtual Conference and Expo, Innovations in Drug Discovery and Development, on April 16 and 17, 2008. The Life Sciences Virtual Conference and Expo is not a Web Seminar; it is a fully interactive event that incorporates on-line learning, live chat, active movement in and out of exhibit booths and sessions, vendor presentations and more. Because the conference is 100 percent virtual, you can experience the expo from the comfort of your own desk. Save yourself the travel expenses and get right to the industry information and solutions you seek... free of charge.
Learn how High Performance Computing (HPC) continues to transform and expand innovation in life sciences and improves the productivity of drug discovery, reduces clinical development time, enhances diagnostics, and helps personalize drugs and therapies.
Leading scientists and researchers from industry, academia, and research institutions will discuss how they are solving a wide range of challenging biological, chemical, imaging, clinical, and interdisciplinary systems problems using breakthrough HPC solution approaches that integrate new software applications, systems, and sophisticated algorithms.
With the industry's leading portfolio for HPC systems and architectures ranging from the Cluster System 1350™ to the Blue Gene® solution for bioinformatics, biochemistry, medical imaging and analysis, and clinical development, IBM is proud to continue its active collaboration with leading life sciences applications developers and researchers by sponsoring this two day life sciences virtual expo.
