When data comes together by Peter Boogaard
The laboratory informatics landscape is changing, and a few changes have been made to the 2013 edition of the scientific computing world annual Laboratory Informatics Guide. When considering data integration, we must first stop thinking ‘technology’. Integration is not just about instruments or other software platforms. Instead, it is about integrating processes, accelerating ideas and facilitating mandatory compliance requirements more economically.
Topics covered:
• Data integration is not a goal on itself. How to set expectations and goals
• First things first - Importance of data standards
• Context is king - Importance of managing meta data
• Collaboration - Data intensive science is becoming mainstream. Here is why.
• Cheating is allowed - importance of adopting cross industry data integration practices

A Look Ahead at BioPharma Manufacturing and Regulation
FDA talks about the changing scope of regulatory science.
Jan 1, 2013 - By: Angie Drakulich - BioPharm International - Volume 26, Issue 1, pp. 26-31

In October 2010, FDA issued a framework for advancing regulatory science for public health, which focused on the following: accelerating delivery of new medical treatments; improving pediatric and children's health; protecting against emerging infectious diseases and terrorism; enhancing safety and health through informatics; protecting the food supply; modernizing safety testing; meeting challenges for regulating tobacco; and setting a collaborative implementation framework.
