Big Data Meets Big Biology in San Diego on March 31
Summary
DeSouza, who will be taking over as Illumina CEO in July, also will talk with venture investors about the bets they are placing on IT innovations in the life sciences.I’ve asked other speakers to also highlight the big trends in their respective fields, and to provide examples of the innovation needs they see in high-performance computing, predictive analytics, data storage, and software development.Examples abound: —Grail, a San Francisco startup founded earlier this year, is developing diagnostic technology sensitive enough to detect early stage cancer.The nature of the technology challenge, though, became apparent when Grail recently named Jeff Huber—who spent 12 years as the top engineer at Google—as its CEO.Nicholas Schork, professor and director of human biology at the J. Craig Venter Institute will provide an overview of the fast-moving trends in genomics, and offer his insights on IT needs.
