18 Copyright 2002 Pfizer Inc Learnings - Opportunities for Internet2 to make it happen n Due to the nature of our business - research - enabling technologies like Internet2 aid internal global execution of the R&D process n E.g. “Flipping through” large, secure files (e.g. x- ray images) to spot changes in size of tumors n Pfizer does global R&D, however, due to the nature of our business – highly proprietary – it is a largely secure intranet environment: n though we accept information from outside vendors using “safe zones” technologies

19 Copyright 2002 Pfizer Inc Learnings - Opportunities for Internet2 to make it happen n Enabling new business processes n Streamlined Discovery & Development processes n Improved data/information for more timely (real- time) decision-making (Hi bandwidth human interactions! “Charles Yun”) n First-time n Better n Earlier n Enabling Digital Science “David G. Messerschmidt”

20 Copyright 2002 Pfizer Inc Summary n Pharma Industry (Challenges/Opportunities) n Pharmaceutical R&D processes n Internet2… can enable real-time analysis, dialogue and … “discovery” of new medicines
