Bio-IT World is announcing its 2010 Best Practices awards program and is opening the call for entries. Established in 2003, this prestigious awards program is designed to recognize outstanding examples of technology and strategic innovation--initiatives and collaborations that manifestly improve some facet of the R&D/drug development/clinical trial process.
The deadline for entry in the program is January 18, 2010 with an early bird deadline of December 18, 2009.
The awards attract an elite group of life science professionals: executives, entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers and clinicians responsible for developing and implementing innovative solutions for streamlining the drug development and clinical trial process. Bio-IT World's distinguished peer-review panel of judges has reviewed almost 400 entries in the program's history, with last year's 70+ entries and 10 awards breaking all previous records.
"These awards spotlight examples of the most outstanding innovations, technologies and practices in the fields of biomedical research, drug development and clinical research--spotlighting the tools and strategies that can make a difference in the conduct of basic and clinical research, speeding the drug discovery pipeline, and changing the way we generate, share and analyze data and knowledge," says Kevin Davies, editor-in-chief, Bio-IT World.
Winners last year included Merck, Abbott Laboratories, National Center for Genome Resources, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Amgen, the Broad Institute, GlaxoSmithKline, Vanderbilt University, Wyeth, Genentech, and AstraZeneca and were featured in the July/August 2009 issue of Bio-IT World.
Entries will be accepted in nine categories: Basic Research & Biological Research; Drug Discovery & Development; Clinical Trials & Research; Translational Medicine; Personalized Medicine; IT & Informatics; Knowledge Management; Health-IT; and Manufacturing & Bioprocessing.
The 2010 winners will receive a unique crystal award to be presented at the Best Practices Awards dinner on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, in conjunction with the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo in Boston. The 7 track event is designed to be highly interactive with lectures, panel discussions, and various receptions as a way to facilitate networking opportunities and hear differing views and perspectives on poignant issues facing the industry today.
