Fueled by prevailing trends in the healthcare industry, molecular diagnostics is now considered to be the fastest growing field in diagnostics becoming a $1.8 billion industry today. Its estimated growth rate in the next five years is 15-20%, reaching $4 billion by 2010. Mapping of the human genome has brought about breakthroughs in molecular diagnostics while threats of rampant infectious diseases such as SARS or the avian flu pandemic have raised the urgency for early, rapid and accurate detection of diseases. Join us to learn more about innovative nanotech-based diagnostics platforms and how these new technologies are designed to become a reality in the doctor’s office or be used in the field at the patient’s side.
