- Field of Molecular Diagnostics is expanding from disease detection to include Prognostics (prediction of disease risk) and tests for a patients response to treatment. Lots of discoveries of new genetic targets and biomarkers enabled by genomics and proteomics.
- Biomarkers may be indicators of disease as well as potential drug targets
