The Pistoia Alliance, a global, not for profit alliance that works to lower barriers to innovation in life sciences R&D, is calling upon the industry to improve collaborative efforts to use patient data to its full effect. In a series of keynote speeches delivered at The Pistoia Alliance’s annual member conference in London, speakers from Amgen, Accenture and AstraZeneca, discussed the need to more closely connect outcomes data with the R&D process – to help pharmaceutical companies focus their research efforts and deliver real benefits to patients. Building machine learning and deep learning systems, and incorporating data from therapeutic interventions or diagnostics into R&D is technologically challenging, and would benefit significantly from industry-wide pre-competitive collaboration...

Pistoia Alliance Launches New Map of Alliances project
The Pistoia Alliance, a global, not-for-profit alliance of life science organizations that work together to lower barriers to innovation in R&D, has started a new project called Map of Alliances. The Map of Alliances project will catalogue the various life sciences consortia, partnerships, foundations and alliances in the life sciences sector and investigate how these collaborative efforts form an interconnected web of partnerships. The Map of Alliances project will see the Pistoia Alliance develop a comprehensive picture of how all these alliances, including those that involve commercial, not for profit and academic partners, are connected across the life sciences sector.

Pistoia Alliance Wins Bio-IT World Grand Prize-Continues Innovation Mission
I received an email newsletter this morning from the Pistoia Alliance and it was so full of information and updates that I decided to post the entire newsletter as an article. A note on the Pistoia Alliance is long overdue. I had meant to write an article on the Alliance back in April after the 2014 Bio-IT World conference organizers announced that Pistoia's HELM project had been chosen as one of the Grand prize winners.

The Pistoia Alliance Releases Exchangeable HELM
The Pistoia Alliance and quattro research are pleased to announce the release of an extension to the HELM biomolecular representation standard. HELM (Hierarchical Editing Language for Macromolecules) enables the representation of a wide range of biomolecules (e.g. proteins, nucleotides, antibody drug conjugates) whose size and complexity render existing small-molecule and sequence-based informatics methodologies impractical or unusable.

Universal Language: The Pistoia Alliance Takes on Indescribable Biology
Best Practices WinnerThe Pistoia Alliance has previously sponsored new methods for querying databases and the scientific literature, and a more effective algorithm for compressing and sharing genetic sequencing data. Over the past year, another Pistoia project, HELM, has entered the public domain after gradual development by an assortment of Alliance members. An open source language and set of editing tools for working with large biomolecules, HELM has already become a foundational part of research in at least three large pharmaceutical companies.

Building a sustainable community around cBioPortal
The cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics provides visualization, analysis and download of large-scale cancer genomics data sets. The code, which was developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has recently been put into the public domain under a GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, and the Pistoia Alliance is exploring ways to build a sustainable community around it. Further project details can be found in IP3.The Pistoia Alliance will be holding a webinar to bring perspectives from the original developers, academic and pharma users, and a commercial open source solution provider, followed by a Q&A session.
