This book discusses the use of computational technologies to facilitate collaboration in biomedical research. It is organized into four parts that cover getting people to collaborate, methods and processes for collaboration, tools for collaboration, and the future of collaboration. The book argues that computational sciences have transformed into a key way to integrate and share divergent data types across pharmaceutical and academic research. It aims to fundamentally re-think how knowledge is built in biomedical sciences by leveraging computational technologies for widespread collaboration.
