Abstract
The Neuroscience Perspective: Opportunities for Market Entry & Expansion
Based on a 31-question survey of over 500 neuroscientists conducting basic,
translational and clinical research, The Neuroscience Perspective:
Opportunities for Market Entry & Expansion, provides suppliers with critical
information regarding neuroscientists' preferred techniques and
instrumentation in four strategic areas: nucleic acids, proteins, cells and
imaging. The report offers suppliers a unique look at current and future
spending for neuroscience-related technologies and identifies areas where
suppliers can enter the neuroscience market based upon the adoption of new
research techniques.
Advances in genomic technology and neuroimaging coupled with a wider range of
model organisms has made it possible to conduct more complicated experiments
to learn how neurons communicate with one another. More than any other life
science discipline, neuroscience research requires a multi-level approach
involving molecular, cellular, systems, translational, and integrative tools.
By using this report to understand the actual needs and preferences of
neuroscientists, suppliers will be better able to position their products to
this specialized customer segment.
The major objectives of this report are as follows:
- Determine what distinguishes neuroscientists from other life scientists in
regard to research objectives, techniques and instrumentation.
- Identify which suppliers neuroscientists believe are best qualified to
meet their research needs for nucleic acid-, protein-, cell- and
imaging-specific reagents and instrumentation.
- Assess the growth potential in neuroscience laboratory budgets for 2006.
- Compare current and future laboratory spending for neuroscience reagents
and instrumentation across nucleic acids, proteins, cells and imaging.
- Pinpoint targeted areas for expansion into the neuroscience market based
upon the adoption of new research techniques.
- Determine what resources and initiatives attract neuroscientists to vendor
exhibit booths.
- Describe the challenges facing the neuroscience field in regard to
personnel, training and funding.
- Learn what neuroscience disciplines will lead to research breakthroughs in
the next five to ten years and the technologies that will enable them.
- Examine the acceptability of utilizing neuroscience technology for "real
world" applications like enhancement of normal function, court-ordered CNS
intervention and "brain-reading."
