Remember when we said we had big news to share? It’s almost here! As we get closer to launching our public site, share in our excitement by entering the contests and prize drawings we’ll be announcing in this space over the next few weeks.
Join us every single week for another chance to win, or just drop by and participate when you like- there’s no obligation necessary (Either way, don’t miss the Official Rules first). And once our public site is up, come back for our biggest contest of the year: the NextBio Genomics Innovation Challenge.
At NextBio, we like to look at data with fresh eyes. We know that integrating diverse kinds of information with strong data mining strategies can yield fresh hypotheses, new insights and much more. With the data accessible and the most intuitive, user-friendly tools possible, brand new genomic discoveries are just waiting to be made. The NextBio Genomic Innovation Challenge is your chance to do it. And if intellectual satisfaction isn’t thrilling enough for you, there are big prizes to be won as well. Watch this space to find out more. And as you wait for the public site and bigger prizes, why not try your hand at a few other contests too?
For starters, we’ll keep it really simple- all you have to do is keep in touch! First, like us on Facebook and second, drop us a line. Leave us a comment either on this blog post or on our Facebook Wall, telling us about your research interests. Do both (Follow us on Facebook AND leave a comment) by August 5, 2011 August 10, 2011 and your name will be entered in a drawing for one of three gift cards ($10.00 each) from Starbucks, Amazon or iTunes (your choice!).

OK….I’ve done both! Now, I’m working on cardiac stem cells …trying to understand their molecular identity and their relation to hematopoeitic stem cells. The data mining thing sounds interesting!
Thanks!

Hi,
I am using experimental factors data from literature to find patterns and for some validation purposes !!

I haven’t had a chance to explore the NextBio platform, but hope to find time soon.
I study fungal cell wall proteins and their roles in immune response/virulence. I also edit papers that cover a wide variety of scientific topics.
