Abstract
The first edition of D&MD Publications report, covering post-genomic biomarkers, was published in September 2003. Since that time, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have broadened from a primary focus on biomarker discovery to greater emphasis on assay development and implementation of biomarker applications. Since publication of the first edition, drug developers have also demonstrated increased interest in imaging-based biomarkers. This report, Post-Genomics Biomarkers: From Discovery to Implementation, covers these and other new developments with the following specific objectives:
- To examine the impacts of Genome Era omic technologies on the discovery and utilization of biomarkers
- To analyze the current and future impacts of post-genomic biomarkers on the pharmaceutical and diagnostics industries
- To assess the performance and viability of the industry segments that provide products and services for biomarker discovery/detection or offer biomarkers for license
- To examine the extent to which post-genomic biomarkers actually improve pharmaceutical R&D and clinical diagnostics
