Off-shoring: A Country Attractiveness Index for Clinical Trials

By Mark P. Mathieu
For many years, pharmaceutical companies have been off-shoring manufacturing operations to lower-cost countries. Healthy margins and strong risk aversion have afforded pharmaceutical companies the luxury of staying close to home, for all but manufacturing activities. As financial pressures increase, pharmaceutical executives are finding that going offshore is not only less risky than it once was, but also too attractive to ignore.  Read More

Impact of the 1000 Genomes Project on the Next Wave of Pharmacogenomic Discovery
1000genomeInterview with M. Eileen Dolan, Ph.D., Professor, Medicine, University of Chicago and Speaker at Next-Generation Sequencing Data Management, September 27-29, 2010, Providence, RI  

The 1000 Genomes Project aims to provide detailed genetic variation data on >1000 genomes from worldwide populations using the next-generation sequencing technologies. Some of the samples utilized for the 1000 Genomes Project are the International Hap-Map samples that are composed of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from individuals of different world populations. The detailed map of human genetic variation promised by the 1000 Genomes project will allow a more in-depth analysis of the contribution of genetic variation to drug response. Future studies utilizing this new resource can greatly enhance our understanding of the genetic basis of drug response and other complex traits.
