Over 275 leaders from the United States, United Kingdom, and beyond joined for a two-day conference on the critical importance of information technology to biomedical research.

They learned how multinational collaborations, like the one between the National Cancer Institute (NCI-U.S.) and the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI-UK) are playing an important role in facilitating more connected and efficient research for diseases like cancer. The coference connected peers from across the globe to see how grid initiatives are changing the biomedical research landscape.

Now available: speaker presentations, abstracts and information about poster award winners.
