BEST PRACTICES AWARDS 2011 PROGRAM

Celebrating Excellence in Innovation

The Bio-IT World Best Practices Awards Program recognizes teams for their novel and innovative uses of technology, business strategies, and solutions benefitting the biosciences value chain, from basic research to clinical trials. Organizations take advantage of this opportunity to showcase their efforts and best practices while contributing to the industry’s broader knowledge base.

Nine categories recognize excellence across all types of best practices. Each entry is evaluated and winners are selected by a peer review expert panel in early 2011. Bio-IT World will present the Awards for its 2011 competition at a special gala dinner and ceremony on April 13, 2011, Boston.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the Best Practices Awards 2011 Program. Established in 2003, the program further heightens your company’s visibility and increases peer-recognition in the life sciences industry.

Best Practices Awards Winner quotes

“We just won a Best Practices Awards for Knowledge Management in collaborating with Abbott Laboratories and Merck. It’s a very special award as it represents effort in the pre-competitive space where 3 major pharmaceutical companies got together and organized their efforts in a area that would normally be competitive, but they recognized their common interests and produced a very good and useful product.”
- Jonathan Usuka, Accelrys

“I’m still in shock. It’s genuinely touching to be recognized by people outside of the immediate work environment and to be peer-reviewed in such a way as you’re working hard and it’s great to be recognized by your peers.”
- David Cook, AstraZeneca

“I’m very excited to have NGCR win this award because they are a wonderful partner for us. They are in the business of dealing with raw sequence data that is so important today and we’re happy to be part of their pipeline for analysis for the summarized data.”
-Shannon Connors, SAS
