InnovationWell launches Drug Safety Knowledge Management program

The new InnovationWell site is now open at innovationwell.net

The community, site and activities of this community of practice have stemmed from a program which has been focused for the past 18 months around knowledge management issues and approaches in the life science and pharmaceutical industries. InnovationWell is a member-based community for those with interests in integrated knowledge-based innovation and best practices in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry.

A new Drug Safety program is now open on InnovationWell which focuses around discussion of strategic knowledge issues and best practices in Drug Safety and building a Drug Safety Body of Knowledge. The program will be following our InterAction meeting format where presentations, discussions and networking occur in executive face-to-face meetings (25-26 April in Philadelphia, USA, and 30-31 May in Basel, Switzerland) and additionally in the InnovationWell collaborative environment, before, during and after the meetings.

Our existing programs in knowledge management in pharma R&D and knowledge integration across the life science product life cycle will continue in 2005 supported by the InnovationWell collaborative environment and additionally in InterAction meetings running in the Autumn. Further program announcements on the Autumn meeting will be posted in this blog and through the InnovationWell Web site.

From the modeling and informatics community audience addressed by this blog, we would be particularly interested in hearing from potential Spring activity participants with solutions of relevance to drug safety including support solutions, in silico modeling, semantic approaches, search technologies, etc.
