Abstract

Trust, and the integrity of financial transactions are at the heart of today’s digital economy.  In much the same way, trust and the integrity of our scientific data are at the heart of today’s world of digital science.

While significant investment has gone into the automation and digitalization of the laboratory over the past decade, life sciences companies’ digital initiatives are still largely constrained by technology limitations wherein information is captured in a database, transmitted to another database (owned by a separate internal or external stakeholder) and then reconciled.  This exchange of data between systems is often an area of great regulatory risk and operational expense.

Blockchain’s ability to generate trust around the issues of data provenance and the automated sharing of data has the potential to allow life sciences companies to break through some of these technology limitations, enabling greater operational efficiency and decreased compliance risk.

The speaker will share insights and a vision of the future regarding the promise of Blockchain technology as it applies to scientific data management
