This week we look at a platform for crowdsourcing medical research ideas, consumer insights into clinical trials, social intelligence for pharma strategy, the human genome Project’s impact on the US economy, and health information networks: - In a combination of crowdsourcing ideas and crowdfunding the research, Social Media Today’s Scientists Crowdsource Medical Research Ideas from Patients introduces WellSpringboard, the winner of The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Challenge, a competition to find novel approaches to connecting researchers with interested patients - A new survey suggests a guarded willingness among Americans to participate in clinical trials. According to The National Poll on Clinical Research by Zogby Analytics for Research!America, 72% of Americans surveyed said they would likely participate in a clinical trial if their physician made such a recommendation, although 70% report that their physicians do not discuss medical research opportunities. Just 24% report hearing about trials from their doctors, and 60% would prefer doctors provide such information - Several leading pharmaceutical companies are already using big data solutions to extract insights from the social realm. Five Ways Advanced Social Intelligence Guides Pharma Strategy from Pharmaceutical Executive shares five ways pharma is currently leveraging advanced social intelligence to drive strategic decisions - A recent (and con ...

Proteins have been the focus of intense research, particularly the manner in which they are produced from genetically coded templates-a process commonly known as translation because of their central importance to biology. While the general mechanism of translation has been understood for some time, protein synthesis can initiate by more than one mechanism. One of the least well understood mechanisms is known as cap-independent translation. Now, John Chaput and ... ...
