Welcome and Opening Keynote
"Genomics: From Medicine to the Environment"
The Human Genome Project, which completed the sequencing of human DNA for improved health care and research in 2003, was a massively complex and distributed 13-year project that involved an unprecedented coordination of high-end technology infrastructures, complex business and research processes, and the cooperation of competing public and private ventures. Leading the way from the private sector was J. Craig Venter, CEO of Celera Genomics. Venter advocated both a shared-database and privately competitive approaches to the project that, with the help of many other organizations, led to the completion of the Human Genome Project two years ahead of schedule. Venter will discuss the technology infrastructure and process optimization techniques that worked to such great success on a grand scale.
Speaker: J. Craig Venter, President, Venter Institute for the Study of Human Genomics, and former CEO of Celera Genomics
Moderator: Brian Gillooly, Editor-in-Chief, InformationWeek Events
