Time. It is a major resource we all wish we could manipulate in order to drastically speed up discovery. Researchers have a constant desire to discover, vet, analyze, rule out, and overall, simply go faster in their world of R&D. And though there is no such time machine or ‘easy button’ yet created, there is a newer methodology being applied to pharmaceutical R&D that is saving substantial time and enabling researchers to go much faster than ever before, crowdsourcing.
Join Ragu Bharadwaj as he discusses how pharmaceutical organizations are using innovation communities like [topcoder] and the principles of crowdsourcing challenges to greatly accelerate early stage research and late stage clinical result research and analysis.

Ragu Bharadwaj’s presentation will be part educational, part case study, discussing several real-world crowdsourcing challenges his team at Babbage Analytics in partnership with [topcoder] have successfully run for industry leading pharmaceutical companies. Join Ragu for his session to learn:
• Why innovation communities like [topcoder] are exceptional innovation partners that enable tremendous velocity gains in R&D
• Why crowdsourcing works so well for data science, advanced algorithms, and analytics challenges
• How incredibly IP sensitive data can be prepared for crowdsourcing challenges
• The outstanding outcomes of several real-world R&D focused challenges his team has delivered through the [topcoder] platform
Time to market, time through varied stages of testing, time to a singular computational decision – if researchers could go faster, how much more would be accomplished? Join this session to discover how crowdsourcing is reshaping the world of R&D discovery.
