DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hd826h/biomarkers) has announced the addition of a new report "The International Biomarkers Market Report 2013 " to their offering.
Tests based on biomarkers have been around for more than half a century, but interest in their application for diagnostics and drug discovery as well as development has increased remarkably since the beginning of the 21st century. Molecular diagnostics technologies are used for the discovery of biomarkers and new tests are also based on biomarker. Currently the most important applications of biomarkers are in drug discovery and development.
Biomarkers are useful not only for diagnosis of some of these diseases but also for understanding the pathomechanism as well as a basis for development of therapeutics. They will facilitate the combination of therapeutics with diagnostics and will thus play an important role in the development of personalized medicine. Biomarkers play a role in use of pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics and pharmacoproteomics for development of personalized medicine.
Market values are further split according to therapeutic applications and major geographical areas. Unfulfilled needs in biomarkers are identified as well as the drivers for biomarker markets. Challenges facing the biomarker industry and strategies for developing biomarker markets are discussed. There is tabulation of 455 collaborations between companies and additional academic collaborations are mentioned in the individual profiles of companies. The report is supplemented by 1,080 references, 68 tables and 16 figures
