Bioinformatics And What It Means To Your Business’ Future

ANN ARBOR ? Bioinformatics ? it’s a buzz word, a word of the future, and for some, a scary word. To sort through this, the Ann Arbor IT Zone at a luncheon on Oct. 31 will have a panel of experts in the field to tell you what it is and how it will impact your business.

Bioinformatics ? according to the dictionary, is ?The field of science concerning the application of computer science and information technology to biology; using computers to handle biological information, especially computational molecular biology.?

This definition doesn?t reveal the tremendous benefits of bioinformatics – it also sidesteps many of the issues that are raising concerns. You?ll learn from a panel of distinguished experts what bioinformatics is (and isn?t), how it will impact you and your business, and ultimately, how it?s likely to impact society. Don?t miss this exciting and timely discussion with Dr. Jerry Callahan, president, XB TransMed Solutions; Dr. Bill Worzel, CEO, Genetics Squared; and Dr. Dan Rhodes, CTO, Compendia Biosciences.
