Focus Market Segments

From initial R&D to the moment when a target product is developed for licensing to Pharmaceutical or Agricultural companies, we will study the following:

• Data production: Genomic or proteomic sequences, disease linkages, biomarker discovery

• Narrative production: Journals focused on biotechnology and related disciplines; publications of data; descriptions of tools or patents, or commentaries on them

• Tool production: processes for producing data or physical products, GDx techniques

Deprioritized Market Segments

• post-commercialization marketing
• regulatory?
