About this event:

“WHY CAN’T WE BUILD DISEASE MODELS TOGETHER” 
"2012 will be the third Commons Congress. Sage Bionetworks is in its fourth year and is deep into the transition from non-profit start-up to a provider of fundamental new infrastructure for network biology. The first Congress session will focus on this transition and the progress to date on how early investments in technical and legal data sharing platforms are beginning to pay off in faster science, increased patient engagement, and disruptive projects that can shake up the entire pharmaceutical industry. The second session will review activities and opportunities in ongoing pilots and projects. The third session will highlight emerging projects designed to shift sharing behaviors in drug development (Arch2POCM) and in disrupting the current medical-industrial social value chain. 

The Congress program will include include deep dives into the Synapse technical platform and Portable Legal Consent systems that together make data about individual patients the key to large-scale disease research. Platform sessions will detail initiatives to open previously closed clinical trial data and bring patients into the research mix."
