Its been a while. We have been busy trying to make the gateway more useful for the community. We have been trying to reach out to Societies, regional councils, media and tech partners to spread the word around the Gateway. This will help making the Gateway a truly inclusive forum.

We have also finished interviewing a few promising Scientists and innovators who are working on ambitious broad application research themes in genomics. We will feature them in the gateway as soon as we have them ready to be posted.

What has also been keeping us busy are initial thoughts on an ambitious community virtual conference (perhaps mini-conference) on applied genomics.The dates and time are still up for discussion and so are the themes.

Here are some of the initial thoughts for sessions and themes:

If we were to break up the sessions into two parts spreading across two days to keep it light and engaging, here are some thoughts on potentially interesting sessions, if we can pull this agenda together.

Session I - OMICS Saturday (perhaps one or two invited ‘virtual’ speakers for each topic)

* Next-Gen Agriculture powered by Genomics
* Towards a Healthier World - Advancements in Food & Nutrition using Genomics
* Discovery Happens Here - Biodiscovery using genomics

Session II - Personalized Sunday (again perhaps one or two invited ‘virtual’ speakers for each topic)

· Who let these genes out? - Recent advancements and scope of different genome projects- 1000 genomes, personal genomics…
· Genomics of Aging- advancements and progress
· What is next in OMICS?

Its still very early into the planning, thoughts are still broad. We would love to hear from you on your thoughts and ideas. If you would like to contribute, participate, speak or suggest a speaker…that would be fantastic! Together we can make this happen.

cheers,

Ashwin

 Would you like to…      Reduce compliance costs for automated systems in manufacturing & laboratory         software?     
     
     :: Have simplified document control for quality records or Standard Operating         Procedures (SOPs)?       Have improved computer system validation for GxP (regulatory) compliance?      
     
     :: Eliminate the tedious manual and paper based compliance processes while still         allowing users to work in a simple and familiar manner?     
     
     :: Learn more about Linksense™ technology which enables unique content level linking         across separate documents ensuring documents are kept up-to-date and         providing instant change impact.      
     
     :: Adopt and reap benefits of an integrated work flow, risk and result management         system?

 Hello Pioneers,

As globe-trotters attending so many scientific events, we thought you might find this tool useful. you can just simply download and you will have all the 09 -OMICS events right in your desktop.

Enjoy.

Are featured application notes written collaboratively with the Genomic Pioneers and the Gateway members. These application notes will be featured in genomicpioneers.com and will be distributed to a large audience through our collaborators and partners like Magazines, Media Houses, Biotech Associations and Societies

Upcoming topics>>

* Best practices for Microarray based study design

* Role of miRNA in Biomarker Discovery

* Applications of Gene Expression profiling in Agriculture

Please keep your suggestions coming in.  If there is an expertise area you would like to share, that would be great!

Cheers,

Hi all,

As one of the first actvities, we are introducing an interview series with innovators, technologists and change makers in the genomics space.

How about naming this ‘On the trail with Genomic Pioneers’?

We did ’sort of’ start this off last year. We can now slowly expand this into webcasts as we go along.

We are also contemplating starting an online live discussion on interesting scientific or business topics in genomics. We will throw some topics up for discussion in a couple of days time. This will be a once a month feature, we could do this on a Saturday every month, so that we can debate and discuss without affecting our weekly schedules. If you could please participate in this quick poll, it will help taking this forward. You can participate in the poll by clicking on either of these links:
http://ocimumbiosolutions.com/thoughtleaders/2009/05/omics-saturdays/
http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/1591920/

If there is some exciting new work you would like to share or recommend to be featured in the gateway, please do get in touch with me.

more later.

cheers,
Ashwin
