sirimonDr. Sirimon O’Charoen is Manager, Translational Medicine, atLife Science Professional Services, Thomson Reuters, and has over than 5 years of experience in data curation and annotation. Past projects include leading curation and workflow development for gene expression studies, clinical studies, and literature. Before joining Thomson Reuters, she was a Senior Research Scientist and reported directly to the company’s CEO at Torrey Path, Inc, a provider of omics data repositories and annotation software for gene expression data. During 3 years at Torrey Path, she directed the team to develop curation platform for public gene expression data. The platform was integrated with tissue, disease, MeSH, and SNOMED ontologies for annotation and BioConductor packages for data pre-processing. She defined the commercial content products as well as user-interface features for accessing the company’s content. At Thomson Reuters, she started as a Research Scientist working with tranSMART and developed an annotation template with control terminology for Janssen’s facet search interface. The ontologies and standards used are MedDRA, MeSH, and CDISC. She delivered several custom curation projects such as annotation of historical experiments for a new searchable database at a customer’s site. One noteworthy project also included an alignment of common data elements from multiple sources. Sirimon is now leading tranSMART and  curation projects at Thomson Reuters.

BACKGROUND

Building on the discussions we had about eCollaboration at the Fall 2013 PRISME Forum Meeting, we are planning our first PF webinar of 2014 to be about eCollaboration and to be scheduled for Thursday, April 10, 2014.

This webinar continued our knowledge sharing around eCollaboration and the Microsoft 2013 Platform.  A number of individual “company-to-company” discussions have occurred around the broader topics of eCollaboration over the last few months.  Mark Yuzuk from BMS kindly agreed to chair and facilitate the webinar.

 

ABSTRACT

This first PRISME Forum eCollaboration webinar will be focused on sharing learnings about Microsoft’s 2013 platform.  The purpose of the webinar is to share current status, plans, and implementation learnings of the product.  Recognizing that many companies are just underway with these types of initiatives, the webinar will be sharing in-flight/draft plans and/or the findings from due diligence efforts in which companies have been engaged. Topics that will be covered include:

  • New features that will impact how people work
  • Deprecated functionality not available in 2013
  • Integration with the rest of the Microsoft stack
  • Cloud vs. On-Premise Implementation considerations
  • The webinar will be focused around the product only.  Discussions around pricing, implementation partner performance, or other topics that pertain to individual companies are off limits
  • If individuals in your organization have interest in further shaping the agenda and/or facilitating the webinar please reach out to Mark directly at Mark.Yuzuk@bms.com.

 

TARGET AUDIENCE

  • People involved in any Microsoft 2013 upgrade project or strategy in your organization
  • People who are focused at Team effectiveness and/or collaboration (aka how people are working and sharing information internally and with partners) leveraging the Microsoft platform of collaboration technologies
  • People who are looking not just at the technical functionality of what SharePoint can do for a particular Division or department, but focused on how to deliver common enterprise wide services to clients to improve how they work leveraging collaboration technologies.
