Genedata, a leading provider of advanced software solutions for R&D, today announced its global Genedata Screener User Group Meetings, which will be held in Boston, Cambridge/UK, Shanghai, and Tokyo. These forums give Genedata Screener users the opportunity to share best practices in screening data analysis and learn about the latest advances in screening technologies and applications. They also enable customers to network with scientists and informaticians from some of the world’s premier pharmaceutical companies, academic research institutions, and contract research organizations. Scientists and researchers from Agios Pharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca, Biogen, Broad Institute, Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Daiichi Sankyo, EMD Serono, Evotec, MRC Technology, and UCB are among attendees at this year’s global User Group Meetings.
“Screener User Group Meetings are valuable knowledge-sharing events,” said Suvarna Khare-Pandit, a research scientist with Vertex Pharmaceuticals. “Agenda topics are comprehensive and balanced, giving you insights into how other researchers are using Screener. These meetings are a great opportunity to network with my peers and the Genedata Screener team.” At the Boston User Group Meeting (UGM), Khare-Pandit will deliver a presentation on how Vertex uses Genedata Screener for assay validation and compound screening with high-content image data analysis.
Customer Collaboration Key to Innovation
“Close collaborations and regular discussions with customers are part of the Genedata DNA,” said Dr. Othmar Pfannes, CEO of Genedata. “This level of engagement enables us to acquire a deeper understanding of our customers’ requirements so that we can continuously develop better solutions that keep us at the frontier of science and technology.”
Regional and accessible, Genedata Screener UGMs promote dialogue between screening sciences and data sciences. They also provide an opportunity to share insights on current and future functionality in Genedata Screener. For example, Relay Therapeutics will detail how it uses Genedata Screener in the cloud to enhance collaborative research and screening data analysis. Other presentations will address Genedata Screener applications in areas such as Automated Patch Clamp (APC), Compound Combination Screening, High Content Screening (HCS), and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR).
