July 20186 The modern day pharma and life sciences industry is actively pursuing different ways to improve the quality and speed of drug development. A major part of these efforts focus on putting data into usage--from organizing the data to applying it in a systematic way for thwarting challenges related to patient care and drug development. With the ability to integrate variety of data--from genomic research and clinical trials to data received from patients through their feedbacks--pharma companies can unlock valuable answers to key concerns such as true effectiveness of treatments to implement best practices in the drug development process. Big data and analytics play a major role in this journey. These technologies help arrive at insightful decisions on all aspects of the business--from product planning, design, and manufacturing--to enhance collaboration in the ecosystem, boost cost optimization and drive competitive advantage. By implementing predictive analytics models that use internal and external data, pharma companies can tackle unforeseen events like drug shortages and evaluate potential risk factors such as elemental impurities in a drug. As new branches of science are being explored, the knowledge of genomics and the broader implications of epigenomics are increasing, and companies are augmenting the use of AI to gain valuable insights on these topics. Also, traditionally under stringent regulatory controls, the pharma and life science industry can keep up with compliance through the application of analytics with reporting and dashboard capabilities. Highlighting the developments in the pharma and life sciences ecosystem, this special edition brings together innovative service providers, changing trends, needs of the hour, and a glimpse into the future of the industry. We hope the valuable insights from industry thought-leaders and the innovative solutions from leading as well as emerging companies featured in this edition will help you in making informed decisions for your enterprise.
