By highlighting well respected companies providing systems for in-vitro diagnostics, including gene sequencing machines, and related services, we focus on advanced medical equipment used in clinical applications, in laboratories and in research.
The fastest growing areas, gene analysis techniques and splicing applied to fields of human identity testing, oncology research, infectious disease research, pharmacogenomics, and inherited disease boost research and product innovation in molecular biology (identifying potential drug targets), microbiology (defining how organisms evolve), medicine (tracking genetic diseases) and plant sciences
The breath of the applications with potential breakthrough in areas as diverse as healthcare, agriculture or environmental protection has opened vast opportunities for start-up companies applying the new technologies… but major uncertainties about commercial break-through leaves the potential investor exposed to extreme risk situations
To service the diagnostics market (evaluated at $ 60 billion and expected to continue to grow by 4% during the coming 5 years), manufacturers of the advanced medical equipment are placed on a strong footing
