We've got US$15,000 that says there's a better algorithm for compressing NGS data.

Show us what you can do!

 

See how to win.

Does every life science company really need its own way of searching for sequences or interfacing ELNs?

We sure hope not! 


See what we’re working on.

Precompetitive Collaboration.

Infosys, AstraZeneca, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and EMBL-EBI are doing it.

 

Are you ready to collaborate?

Our members want to make information on disease-causing genes as easy to find as a book or a toaster on Amazon.

It’s called SESL, semantically enriched scientific literature.

Next-generation sequencing data in the cloud?

That takes next-generation collaboration!

Phase 2 of the sequence services project is underway.

 

RFP available now.

Lowering barriers to R&D innovation

Lowering barriers to R&D innovation

The Pistoia Alliance is a global, not-for-profit, precompetitive alliance of life science companies, vendors, publishers, and academic groups that aims to lower barriers to innovation by improving the interoperability of R&D business processes. We differ from standards groups because we bring together the key constituents to identify the root causes that lead to R&D inefficiencies and develop best practices and technology pilots to overcome common obstacles.

Pistoia-led projects have the potential to transform precompetitive R&D, making it more open and collaborative and providing a platform upon which organizations can innovate in the ways most suited to their ultimate goals.
