Don Doherty to Speak at National Pharmaceutical Symposium
Brainstage announced today that Dr.
Donald Doherty, its CSO and founder,
will be presenting at the Laboratory
Informatics Conference in San Francisco
California on April 2nd, 2008. The
presentation is entitled,
"Knowledge Frontier Management: Using
the Semantic Web to Accelerate Research,
"Effective laboratory practice ultimately results in building and expanding comprehension at the knowledge frontier," said Dr. Doherty. "The bench scientist must 1) absorb existing knowledge, 2) design and execute experiments, 3) collect new data, and 4) place the new results in context with the existing knowledge. This is a time consuming and inefficient process using traditional research tools.
This presentation will help bench scientists learn how harnessing the power of the Semantic Web can provide drug researchers 1) instant insight into existing knowledge, 2) in-silico tests of “what-if” scenarios, 3) automated annotation of newly acquired data, and 4) automated integration of new data with the existing body of knowledge. Knowledge frontier management tools like the Web-based Brainstage platform enable scientists to integrate the real-time data flow from around the world with daily work processes at the laboratory bench.
