BioNav Data Viz Hack: Seeing Expert Connections

Dear Data Vizualizers, we are slowly transitioning from Meetup to our new nvite Data Community DC page (https://nvite.com/community/datacommunitydc). To see event details and RSVP, please navigate to: https://nvite.com/BioNav/oro8ld

Aim of Hack: Develop a meaningful way to visualize connections between experts in biopharma.

When: Tuesday March 23rd, 7:00pm

What we are hacking:

Expert System will present the Biopharma Navigator, a Competitive Intelligence tool used by small biotechs to big pharmaceutical companies, biomedical universities, and medical research institutes. The tool helps these organizations in making smarter decisions… faster!

We will concentrate on the “Expert Identification” feature: Who is doing What, Where, and When and the relationship among different experts: Who is working with Whom? We currently visualize expert relationships via collaboration Network. However; we need your expertise and creativity to make this visualization more attractive (yet informative).

Biopharma Navigator stays up-to-date on leading experts by mining, extracting and linking information from multiple data sources such as Clinical trials, Medline Publications, USPTO Patents, and NIH Funded Grants. We have about 10 million experts in our repository and it is growing on a daily basis.
