Research and Markets: Systems Biology - Key to Unlocking the Value within the Omics Revolution.


Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2004

Market Projections for Systems Biology Systems biology, a field of study in the biosciences, focuses on the systematic study of complex interactions in biological systems. Particularly from 2000 onwards, the term is used widely in the biosciences, and in a variety of contexts.  Products and Services Are Expected to Grow at an Annual Compound Rate of 66% to $785 Million By 2008

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com) has announced the addition of Systems Biology - Key to Unlocking the Value within the Omics Revolution to their offering.

Systems biology, with its interdisciplinary approach to devising computational models

Computational model is a mathematical model in computational science that requires extensive computational resources to study the behavior of a complex system by computer simulation.

The recent availability of masses of omic (genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic) data is responsible for the major growth spurt growth spurt Pediatrics A period of rapid growth in middle adolescence; ♀ ↑ ±8 cm/yr ±age 12; ♂ ↑ ±10 cm/yr ± age 14; GS is orderly, affecting acral parts–ie, hands and feet grow before proximal regions,  of systems biology. Pharmaceutical companies and others need to make sense out of all this omic information in order to take the next step in overcoming their innovation deficits. Systems biology provides the methods, computational capabilities, and inter-disciplinary expertise to facilitate this jump.

Commercial applications are emerging at an accelerating pace as pharmaceutical and biotechnology research organizations start to combine various forms of omic data into more comprehensive computer models, and bioinformatics companies The primary purpose of this list is to serve as a holding place for the identities of Bioinformatics companies, particularly those for which articles have not yet been created. Three elements would be useful to include: a link to the article, a link to the company on the web (their  increasingly turn their attention toward offering systems biology solutions to drug developers and diagnostics companies.

This Report describes the current state and future prospects of the rapidly developing systems biology field.

Our Systems Biology Report clearly defines what systems biology is and does. It includes:

- An historical overview of the field is provided and the technical and commercial background.

- An examination of the nature of systems biology in its several manifestations

- commercial applications in pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and other business segments;

and market dynamics.

- A series of detailed profiles of companies active in the field

- In-depth interviews with six systems biology experts.

Market Opportunities

-Create new paradigms New Paradigm
