Article Abstract:

Convergence of Information Technology (IT) and life science can bring about the promise to improve and speedup the development of new medical treatments and devices, as well as enhance the bottom line of life science companies that are burning through mounds of cash just to get one drug to market. Such convergence presents a golden opportunity for technology companies like IBM and Sun Microsystems to bring together their resources and e-business expertise to data and storage management and high-performance computing, to offer solutions for the life sciences market including biotechnology, genomic, e-health, pharmaceutical, and agri-science industries.
