MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 18 With the launch of several companion diagnostics over the past year, we have officially entered the personalized medicine era. These diagnostics and follow-on therapeutics utilize molecular analysis technologies to diagnose and manage a patient's disease or predisposition towards a disease. The ultimate goal is to prescribe a therapeutic plan tailored to an individual's genetics and environmental profile. While revenues from companion diagnostics are just starting to trickle in, the push towards personalized medicine is driving several markets along the pipeline of drug discovery. From "bench to bedside," this healthcare trend continues to spur basic research technologies, biomarker discovery, pharmacogenomics services, and of course, companion diagnostics and therapeutics.

"It's important to understand that personalized medicine encompasses many disparate markets; it might relate to pharmaceutical companies' drug pipelines, the development of new diagnostic tests, or the sales of innovative technologies for biomedical research," explains Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst, Christi Bird. "To appropriately evaluate the extent to which personalized medicine is actually driving revenues, we need to define the multiple market microcosms that are the foundation of personalized medicine -- anything from services for biomarker discovery to companion diagnostics for guiding therapy decisions."
