Molecular Diagnostics for Pharmacogenetic Testing: Testing volume, cost per test, and market potential
Published: October 1, 2004 | Price: $995.00 – $1,990.00
The field of pharmacogenetics promises to open up new opportunities for the diagnostic industry at the same time it opens the door to more effective therapeutics. Pharmacogenetics is based on the principle that the effects of a given medication when administered to a patient are determined, at least in part, by his or her genetic constitution. Differences in drug metabolism may lead to varying adverse events or more pronounced adverse events in different individuals, and differing metabolism may also lead...
U.S. Market for Molecular Diagnostics, 2nd Edition
Published: May 1, 2004 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
Molecular diagnostics are seen as being a major breakthrough in medical science. While the technology itself has broad applications to such areas as agricultural bioterrorism and environmental science, medical and medical research applications have provided the primary focus. As a result, great things have been predicted for the development and use of new therapeutics based on molecular testing approaches. The primary molecular diagnostics approaches are based on two major database sciences (genomics and proteomics) and their relationship to disease and...
