FasterCures follows up on 'Ten to Watch in 2008′

August 26th, 2008

FasterCures President Greg Simon has published a follow-up to the organization's announcement in January of the FasterCures Ten to Watch in 2008 list, on which we were honored to appear. The post provides updates on the developments, trends and organizations FasterCures identified in the original list, including "Science 2.0," highlighting innovators in the "use of online platforms for scientific collaboration." Among them: CollabRx, a company that creates "virtual biotechs" to put drug discovery in patients' hands. CollabRx is one of our partners in the Health Commons, a project to make it easier for anyone to pull together the resources for accelerating drug discovery: research, data, materials and services.

You can read the post, Ten to Watch Mid-Year Review, over at the FasterCures blog.
