Automobiles and computers may be complicated machines, but they pale in comparison to the human body. The challenge of working in an industry committed to that complexity brought Adriana (Andi) Karaboutis from Dell, where she served as CIO, to join Biogen as executive VP of technology. Speaking at the InformationWeek Conferenceat Interop in late April, Karaboutis argued that the age of biotechnology has arrived. "Biotech has progressed to the point where we're actually able to edit or code DNA …," said Karaboutis, characterizing the intersection of biology, information technology, and data as massive opportunity.
