Pfizer explores data sharing with Science Commons

Pfizer is exploring data sharing with Science Commons.  There are no details in this interview with David de Graaf of Pfizer's Research Technology Center, but it's a promising prospect to watch.  Here's the key passage:

When you encounter a knotty problem or roadblock in terms of your work in systems biology, who do you call among your peers in the industry?

...Everybody keeps running into the same toxicity and we can't solve it. Actually putting our heads together and, more importantly, putting our data together may be something that's worthwhile, and we're exploring that together with the folks at Science Commons right now, as well as the folks at Teranode.

Update. Peter Murray-Rust welcomed this news and added a comment on the possibility of data sharing in the pharma industry.
