Clinical Proteomics: A First-Glance Market Report

Like most early markets, the clinical proteomics market is comprised of innovators and visionaries whose work will help shape the product expectations of future researchers. For suppliers hoping to dominate this technology, understanding the current experiences of today's visionaries and monitoring how their needs change over time is critical. Clinical Proteomics: A First-Glance Market Report confirms that the effectiveness of clinical proteomics will hinge on two technological components: rapid, multiplex protein detection assays and data analysis systems to assimilate vast amounts of protein expression data from healthy and diseased individuals into clinically relevant data sets. Based on a detailed survey of proteomic researchers, this First-Glance Market Report identifies the research objectives, methodologies, assay parameters and technological limitations that are currently associated with disease-based protein-profiling studies. In addition, these visionaries provide their thoughts on the disease applications, assay formats and technical standards for future protein-profiling assays that will be used for disease prognosis or diagnosis in a clinical setting. For suppliers of products for protein-profiling research, as well as for companies that need to stay abreast of the latest developments in clinical testing, this report provides a wealth of information about the present state and future directions of clinical proteomics.

Unique elements of this report:

• Based on the opinions of over 300 scientists whose protein-profiling studies focus on the diagnosis or prognosis of human disease
• Up-to-date data collected between July 29 and August 19, 2003
• Over 53 full-color analytical tables and charts
• Approximately 10 cross-tabulations
• More than 50 comments from scientists exploring the clinical proteomics frontier that detail the barriers they feel must be overcome
• Delivered as an Excel file allowing you to import the data into your presentations to senior management, staff, partners and investors.

What is a First-Glance Market Report?

When a market is in an embryonic state, traditional techniques for understanding its size, growth and the needs of customers are found wanting. There is simply too little consensus in terms of definitions, standards, product mix and expectations to measure and use in planning business strategies. Yet understanding the current experiences of today' s visionaries and monitoring how their needs change over time is key for suppliers hoping to dominate a new, revolutionary technology.

BioInformatics'  First-Glance Market Reports are designed to meet the needs of strategic planners for time-sensitive, exploratory research. Unlike our premier market reports that provide statistically significant data and extensive analysis of measurable markets, First-Glance Market Reports deliver data right from an early market' s visionaries to their counterparts in industry—quickly and at an affordable cost. First-Glance Market Reports are also based on questionnaires specifically designed to support repeat surveys so that user needs and changing expectations of performance can be measured over time.
