When: January 15, 2001 from 2:10 p.m. to 2:50 p.m.; (Conference from January 15 - 17, 2001) Sponsored by AstraZeneca Research Foundation, BIOCON India and Confederation of Indian Industry The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry-led and industry-managed organisation, playing a proactive role in India’s development process. (CII CII Confederation of Indian Industry CII Chartered Insurance Institute (UK) CII Construction Industry Institute (University of Texas) CII Council of Institutional Investors ) this symposium will explore the latest advances in global bioinformatics and genomics research and introduce attendees to the technologies and tools available today for streamlining and accelerating the discovery process. Dr. Christopher Ahlberg will focus on how the advent of genomics and high-throughput discovery techniques in the 90's has created corporate R&D repositories housing immense amounts of vital historical information that need to be analyzed. He will educate attendees on how to effectively exploit these vast stores of data by implementing information management systems that deliver critical information to the researchers' desktop; simplifying data analysis and exploration and fostering collaborative decision making. "Only when users can retrieve, link, explore and make sense of data from multiple sources will companies realize the promise of high-throughput discovery, and achieve the desired return on their investments in their research-technology platforms." His talk will present a novel approach--successfully adopted by leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms--that delivers industry-specific, end-user applications and information for more productive decision-making. Prior to founding Spotfire Inc., Dr. Ahlberg was a pioneer in the area of information visualization Representing data in 3D images in order to navigate through it more quickly and access it in a more natural manner. Although the term was coined at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, which has developed very advanced techniques, multidimensional cubes, or pivot tables, are a simpler form , developing multiple groundbreaking systems using database querying and exploration. Dr. Ahlberg established Spotfire, Inc. based on his innovative research on information visualization and human-computer interaction Human-computer interaction An interdisciplinary field focused on the interactions between human users and computer systems, including the user interface and the underlying processes which produce the interactions. . He earned his doctorate from Chalmers University of Technology (body, education) Chalmers University of Technology - A Swedish university founded in 1829 offering master of science and doctoral degrees.
