Biologics, or biopharmaceuticals, are synthetic or recombinant versions of natural biologic substances, including proteins such as enzymes or antibodies and nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. Generic products are non-patented chemical and therapeutic equivalents of brand name drugs. However, biogenerics are not generic biologics, because there can technically be no generic form of biologics. That is, the complex process of creating biologics, means that traditional definitions of bioequivalence used in the generic drug industry do not (or may not)...Published: June 1, 2004 | Price: $2,995.00 – $5,990.00
Ten years ago, high throughput screening (HTS) was being touted as the answer to improving productivity in drug discovery. If screening thousands of compounds a week was good, screening hundreds of thousands would be even better. This led to the boom in Ultra HTS (UHTS), manufacturing-scale systems, and high-speed automation. Today, reality has begun to creep in: HTS and UHTS have not lived up to their hype. R&D productivity is not improving, in fact it may be declining. In the...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...Published: April 1, 2004 | Price: $3,500.00 – $7,000.00
Changing demographics are spurring dynamic growth in the interventional radiology market. The angioplasty balloon, coronary stent, vascular closure, and other associated equipment markets will experience healthy growth over the next 5 years. Persons over the age of 65 will be a major segment of the population in coming years.
