Personalized Medecine: Genetic Diagnostics Technologies
SESSION THEMES
Genetic diagnostics is the fastest growing and most nascent segment of the medical diagnostics industry. Currently growing at an estimated annual rate of over 20%, the market is projected to exceed US $2 billion by 2010.
As medical understanding of the genotype/phenotype correlation of a disease becomes clearer, genetic testing can be expected to become a mainstay in the clinical setting. While the application of genetic testing to the clinical setting is very much in line with the larger medical goals of preventative and personalized medicine, there are many unanswered questions with regard to genetic testing. Do not miss the opportunity to hear our expert panel speak aboute key issues related to genetic diagnostics technologies.
Session designed for:
Capital providers and corporate managers involved in financing and development novel technologies in health care.
