11 Scientific Interest Group for Imaging Medimmune Cambridge 2020 Vision
Use our unique position and exceptional talent to build scientific innovation and collaboration to deliver impact for patients
13 Continuing progress on our 2020 Vision
• Collaboration opportunities – Developing externally facing platform to enable future collaboration and outreach with partners • Scientific focus – creation of Scientific Interest Groups (SIG) – Imaging – Machine Learning – Devices and Delivery – Genomics – Experimental Medicine
14 Scientific Interest Groups – What are they for?
• Allow the sharing of ideas & opportunities in distinct focus areas • Identify opportunities for collaboration within the local area • Share what is happening within functional & therapeutic areas • Discuss new technologies and platforms to apply these within the organisation • A forum to discuss how to solve scientific problems in relevant areas • Share information & ideas across the organisation – IMED/Medi/Spirogen/Definiens • Provide a link into the Medimmune 2025 Strategic focus areas
15 Imaging – part of Digital Health Initiative
• Digital pathology – Automated tissue and organ analysis – Predictive multiplexing IHC biomarkers – Improve pathology diagnosis through machine learning • Non invasive techniques – CT, PET and MRI – In vivo microscopy imaging for expressed biologics • Image analysis, machine learning and deep learning
16 Collaboration strategy for Scientific Interest Group
• Use networks to uncover partners with technology and capabilities in imaging – Brainstorm workshop and consult all therapeutic areas – Internally identify problems that require a solution – Based on nature of problem, reach out internal and external networks for solutions • Ultimate goal to access or acquire novel capabilities and technology
17 How will we work?
Reach out for collaborations Co-creation of solution with external experts and internal partners
Proof of Work with TAs/ concept & cross functional implement groups to identify Evaluate possible the key problems technology to solve for the problems
18 How we achieve our bold vision: Start Small, Think Big.
“Start small, think big. Don’t worry about too many things at once. Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow, but the future. Put a ding in the universe.” Steve Jobs
19 Our approach to challenges
1. Open Access 6. Maximal 2. Added Efficient Value SIG Imaging
5. 3. Scalable Flexible
4. Multi- modal
