CONCURRENT TRACKS:

 Track 1: IT Infrastructure – Hardware - NEW 
Track 1 will delve into high performance computing and computing platforms, including grid computing, datacenter design and data storage (storing solutions, data security, standards & regulations, access issues, system interoperability, etc.)

 Track 2: IT Infrastructure – Software - NEW 
This Track will explore data handling and integration activities, including new approaches to collaborative data sharing, cloud computing, social networking, enterprise 2.0, open-source, Wikis, and SOA, as well as semantic web/semantic solutions for knowledge management.

 Track 3: Bioinformatics and Next-Gen Data
Themes covered in this Track include the handling of next-generation sequencing data, combining markers/tests for usage in personal genomics, GWAS, genotyping, Gene ID, biological databases, and microarrays.

 Track 4: Systems and Predictive Biology  
The explosion of “omic” data has energized mathematical modeling and simulation of biological systems.  This Track provides in-depth modeling approaches from in silico to in vivo with an emphasis on drug discovery, ADME predictions, and systems medicine.

 Track 5: Cheminformatics and Computer-Aided Modeling 
This Track explores partnerships and collaborations to further drug discovery, open source chemistry, recent advances in cheminformatics, modeling for safety, using biological and chemical information to guide hit-to-lead phase and lead optimization, and repurposing drugs by applying 21st century tools to find new targets.

 Track 6: eClinical Trials Technology 
Track 6 explores how to leverage technology to optimize speed, quality and cost of clinical trials.  Themes covered include best practices in data collection and analysis, systems integration, recruiting and engaging patient communities using Web 2.0 technologies, adaptive clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, eCTDs, and utilization of EHR data for drug development. 

 Track 7: eHealth Solutions
This Track explores the integration of life sciences, IT and general healthcare to support the care delivery process and innovative R&D of next generation health IT and personalized medicine solutions. Themes covered include EHRs and their impact on R&D, translational medicine, the development of companion diagnostics, integrating clinical data with genomic data, and technology tools to support the care delivery process.
