PerkinElmer Signals Translational: All is FAIR in Biomarker Discovery and Patient Stratification

A successful biomarker-driven clinical trial depends on optimal patient stratification. This is increasingly being restricted by the growing complexity, diversity and sheer size of translational medicine data. Empowering translational scientists to explore and analyze translational and clinical datasets for successful biomarker discovery is fraught with challenges. Furthermore, organizations need to establish best practices that adhere to FAIR guidelines for data management and data stewardship.

In this webinar, viewers will learn how signals translational can help with biomarker discovery and patient stratification, and how Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) have integrated PerkinElmer Signals Translational in their ecosystem whilst keeping the focus on FAIR guiding principles:

• Findable: A collaborative framework for effective sharing of data, analytics and insights
• Accessible: Universal data access for effective cross-study analysis of translational research and clinical data
• Interoperable: Flexible yet robust information model that ensures harmonization of datasets for cross-study analysis
• Repeatable: Establish best practices by creating and sharing repeatable analytics protocols (Powered by TIBCO Spotfire) to test and adapt hypotheses across the organization
