Accelerating pharma innovation depends on maximizing the value of biomedical data assets, including imaging data. Within research organizations, however, data is often underleveraged, siloed, and disorganized. This adds to R&D timelines and costs, hinders AI development, and prevents collaboration that can lead to breakthroughs. How can companies address these data challenges with maximum buy-in and minimal disruption?
Our panelists will discuss:
- The barriers to breaking down data silos in pharma
- Cues life sciences organizations can take from the FAIR data principles
- Tools for standardizing how data is captured, curated and shared
- How standardizing curation can speed AI development
- Examples of pharma successes in breaking down data silos
