and the recent approval by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)
of their "checkpoint inhibitors" has
significantly increased their revenues. Pfizer is awaiting approval of
it's own checkpoint inhibitor, which
is a form of immunotherapy. "With
the incredible volume of data and
literature available in this complex
field, we believe that tapping into
advanced technologies like IBM Watson can help our scientific experts
more rapidly identify novel combinations of immune-modulating agents,"
stated Mikael Dolsten, president of
Pfizer worldwide research and development. In addition to Pfizer, IBM
Watson is providing data analytics
capabilities to several major cancer
institutes, such as Memorial Sloan
Kettering and MD Anderson.

ASAP corporate member
Samsung, the world's
largest chip maker, and
software maker SAP
opened a joint research
center

to develop in-memory platforms
projected to substantially increase
processing for next-generation
computing. The database allows
the main memory that processes
CPU information to save gargantuan amounts of data. An additional
benefit is the faster data processing speeds. Customers will receive
optimized solutions through extensive test runs and the review
of Samsung's memory solutions.
The joint center is located at Samsung's Hwaseong campus in Korea,
where the semiconductor research
labs are located. The system uses a
24-terabyte in-memory platform
based on Samsung's 128GB DDR4
3DS (three-dimensionally stacked)
DRAM modules, which are made
from a 20-nanometer process. The

companies plan to install 256GB
3DS DRAM modules to further
enhance the system in 2017. The
research center's in-memory platforms are designed to create high
investment return rates by increasing performance and energy
efficiency.

In a five-year strategic
alliance, Covance, an
ASAP global member,
and Global Specimen
Solutions, Inc. (GSS) will
join forces
allowing Covance clients first-time
access to biomarker data through
a comprehensive and integrated
solution that includes data management, a visual tracking application,
and GSS wraparound services. The
access allows interventions to be
made during clinical trials, which
will impact trial execution and
data validity. The system also allows cross-protocol, cross-program
analytics. The data management
system allows for single or multiple access to live specimen data and
analytics. It also offers management
of informed consent and material
transfer agreements, which allows
sample identification and use in
multiple studies. The visual tracking application follows sample
lifecycles from collection through
testing and destruction. "Our collaboration with GSS enables our
clients ... to see truly unified views
of their biomarker data for the
