Research and Markets: Global Opportunities in Development of Molecular Diagnostics Analysed.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the revised edition of "Molecular Diagnostics: Transforming Pharmaceuticals, Impacting New Markets to their offering"

The in vitro diagnostics In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are medical tests conducted in a test tube, or more generally in a controlled environment outside a living organism. In vitro means in glass in Latin.  industry is at the forefront of far-reaching changes in healthcare. Based on a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of disease and individual differences in disease susceptibility and drug responses, molecular diagnostics will enable selection of the most effective treatment for each individual patient, initiation of treatment at an early or presymptomatic stage, and in some cases, prevention of disease altogether.

This Report brings the reader up-to-date on all the intervening developments in the areas of nucleic acid nucleic acid, any of a group of organic substances found in the chromosomes of living cells and viruses that play a central role in the storage and replication of hereditary information and in the expression of this information through protein synthesis.  testing and specialist immunoassays, and, in addition, covers a much wider range of platform technologies and products. There are new sections on topics such as DNA microarrays, gene expression profiling Microarray technology is often used for gene expression profiling. It makes use of the sequence resources created by the genome sequencing projects and other sequencing efforts to answer the question, , protein chips, protein expression profiling, lipidomics, and bioinformatics.

The Report offers coverage of all major disease areas with an emphasis on the biggest and growing markets. In addition, expanding applications of molecular diagnostics outside the clinical field are surveyed - including veterinary, food and water testing Water Testing
Water testing is used around the world on various waterways to improve the quality of the water and test how well the water is already. It is vital for many people around the water-ways and for drinking water.
, and anti-counterfeiting applications. Molecular diagnostics opportunities within the top eight world markets are discussed, and profiles of key companies currently developing molecular diagnostics are included.

Market Opportunities
