Going to the Indy LS Summit? So are we! Hope to see you there

Recently our very own Garrett Peterson participated in a public health forum at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. Read on to see the questions that were asked and the answers he gave.

In early March, the Yahara Software Life Sciences team, along with our partners JMC,  attended Pittcon 2017 in Chicago. Pittcon is the world’s leading annual conference and exposition on laboratory science and attracts attendees from industry, academia and government from over 90 countries worldwide.  JMC and Yahara attended to learn about the latest trends in informatics, and network with companies and clients with whom we might be able to partner.  We enjoyed speaking with people at their Expo booths, at the technical sessions and at the networking events. 

Chad Mckee is a senior architect at Yahara Software and one of the key authors of Yahara Software's System Integration Framework.  He has extensive experience in working vehicular telemetric data and providing complex analytics and visualization capabilities. Chad addressed the Tap Into Technology audience about securing transportation data from IOT sources using certificate authorities and certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. 

In this 5 part series, we will summarize the major topics covered at a recent Tap into Security event. The first installment details a presentation made by consultant Abbey Vangeloff illustrating a laboratory assessment program implemented for a US based client. Since this was a multi-tenant database, it was imperative that we create a secure environment where each user had access to only their own data. Perhaps more importantly, we wanted to create an atmosphere for the users where they could be confident they knew the correct workflows for keeping their local assessment data secure and only publishing the data to the national level that they wanted to share. 

Didn't get a chance to make it to the annual APHL conference this year? No worries, Mary Kate from JMC will catch you up on all the interesting information, cool success stories, and useful new tools.
