Description

Collaborations across the healthcare community, consisting of academicians, large pharmaceutical companies as well as smaller biotechnology start ups are constantly increasing. This collaborative landscape approach has resulted in the development of several initiatives as well as technological innovations. These technological innovations are rather prominent in the genetic space, with a recent collaboration leading to the development of genome wide association studies across the African American demographic. Genetic technologies have even started to impact nutritional sciences, with the capability of innovative cell culture systems for cultivation of specific nutritional characteristics in food.

The Genetic Technology TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) presents the latest R&D developments and advances with an emphasis on opportunities to profit in the explosive field of genetic technology through technology transfer, joint ventures, and acquisitions. The complete gamut of genetic technology applications is covered including the latest developments in omics technologies; genetic, cellular, and alternative therapies; sequencing technologies; and genetically altered animals and plants.

The Health & Wellness cluster tracks developments in a myriad of areas including genetic engineering, regenerative medicine, drug discovery and development, nanomedicine, nutrition, cosmetic procedures, pain and disease management and therapies, drug delivery, personalized medicine, and smart healthcare.
