The Interoperable Informatics Infrastructure Consortium (I3C) spearheaded by Sun Microsystems and the Biotechnology Industry Organization has increased its membership from seven to 30 since announcing the initiative last month.

Representatives from IBM, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, and Accenture were among the new members who joined founders Sun, TimeLogic, Blackstone, Incogen, LabBook, Oracle, and the National Cancer Institute at the consortium’s meeting in Palo Alto last week.
