The Pistoia Alliance, a global organization of life sciences industry experts from AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Novartis and GSK was formed in 2009 to lower barriers to bioinnovation through promotion of pre-competitive collaboration and mentorship across life science industries. Pistoia …

Project-based learning is perhaps the most effective way to gain both an understanding of and practical experience in a technical subject. A growing number of public domain datasets is making it possible to conduct bioinformatic analysis of real …

Pine Biotech will be highlighting a number of case studies focused on omics integration projects that will demonstrate the complications and solutions that can be implemented using the T-Bio Platform. We will be focusing on multi-omics projects that …

Recently I attended a great presentation by Nicolas Robine about the New York Genomics center at the University of Southern Mississippi. The presentation told the story of a small team (10 people with only laptops) that went on …

For the past year or so, Big Data Analysis Tbio has been under development and testing. Taking on showcase projects, we’ve been trying our bioinformatics tools on public domain and collaboration projects. These are our conclusions and updates: …

Key members of the Pine Biotech team will discuss the promising development of bioinformatics for research and personalized medicine and introduce Pine Biotech’s current educational and research projects. An introduction by CEO Elia Brodsky will be followed by …

One of the challenges with supervised interpretation of -omics data analyses is the limitation of existing knowledge databases. An association is typically established by an “enrichment” score of a gene to a member of a known pathway. While …

With a bit of controversy over sequencing costs, now it is loud and clear – sequencing is going to become even more affordable thanks to Illumina’s “MiniSeq” announced at the JPMorgan Annual Healthcare conference. With this trend of …

A computational systems biology approach to virus-host circuitry aimed at discovering drug-able pathways in strand-specific viral adaptation to host is shedding light on new discovery methods and tools that can accelerate precision targeting of specialized conditions. One of …
