BiotechEast HP invites industry, government, academia, and researchers to discuss IT applications in biotech

"In his welcoming remarks, Andy Lai, General Manager of Enterprise Marketing and Solution, Enterprise Systems Group, HP Taiwan, said that while biotech development requires the support of high-speed IT platform, the extreme complexity and difficult challenges brought about by bioscience will drive significant IT advancements; IT and bioscience are thus complementary. Lai added that the success of Taiwan's electronic industry depends on the clustering benefit brought about by the electronic supply chain. HP recommends that the biotech industry duplicate the outsourcing, joint research, and software and hardware sharing models of the electronic industry to significantly shorten the period from conceptualization to manufacturing and return of investment. Doing so would effectively integrate the niches in both the electronic and biotech industries and boost biotech development, Lai said."

“Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.”
