"Laboratory Informatics 2006 is unique from other informatics events," said Antony Davies, LI 2006 co-chair and senior marketing manager, informatics at Waters.
"It emphasises applications and lessons learned and addresses multiple interest levels.
"For example, the programme targets scientists and IT professionals looking for technical information to researchers more concerned about the process of executing an informatics deployment to the role informatics will play in emerging markets", he stated.
Davies is co-chairing the conference with Mohan Cashyap, associate director of preclinical IT strategy and consulting at GlaxoSmithKline.
In addition, an ELN pre-conference summit on 30 January features a full-day session on the planning and deployment of electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) software.
Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to select, design and implement an ELN strategy and how to manage organisational and behavioural changes during the transition from a paper-based notebook operation to an electronic one.
Waters is a major sponsor of Laboratory Informatics 2006.
Informatics or information science is concerned with creating, structuring, storing, retrieving and distributing information.
Informatics software captures, indexes and archives the full spectrum of data generated by observations and analytical analysis.
It applies to all life sciences disciplines and data-related functions - from vial to trial to aisle.
Informatics can reduce the mounting costs associated with manual data-entry operations and paper-based storage.
It also facilitates scientific collaboration, which helps drive innovation and improve laboratory productivity.
Informatics also advances compliance with regulatory agencies and is an important technology to leverage when protecting intellectual property during patent litigation.
Lodging and registration information.
All conference sessions and workshops will be held at the Doubletree Golf Resort in San Diego, California.
To secure reduced rates, attendees should contact the hotel four weeks prior to the conference and mention the conference name: Laboratory Informatics 2006.
Discounts are available for an all-access pass, ELN pre-conference summit, conference only, or individual workshops by registering by 6 January 2006.
Student, academic, government, and non-profit rates are also available.
The Waters laboratory informatics suite is made up of powerful, integrated information management solutions (Waters Empower software, Waters MassLynx software, Waters NuGenesis SDMS software, Waters eLab Notebook software and Waters Analytical Workflow Manager software) that enable users to compile, manage and share the vast quantity of data generated in a laboratory.
Whether searching for application-specific software or looking to augment a data management strategy, Waters laboratory informatics transforms raw data into a competitive advantage, says the company.
