Piribo: The Future of BioSciences, new publication announcement

September 29, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report called “Future of BioSciences, The - Four Scenarios for 2020 and Their Implications for Human Healthcare”. http://www.piribo.com/publications/general_industry/future_biosciences_scenarios_2020.html

In the coming years, the convergence of genomics, proteomics, stem cell research, regenerative medicine, bioinformatics, nanotechnology and other life science technologies will pose significant opportunities and challenges in every sector of society. Two years ago, the William and Phyllis Mack Center for Technological Innovation, part of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Decision Strategies International, Inc. (DSI) embarked on an ambitious program to lay out a range of reasonable futures for biosciences. Based on numerous workshops at the Mack Center and individual interviews with over 50 leading experts from academia, government and the private sector, the report represents a truly unique undertaking. This report presents four scenarios that describe how emerging life science technologies might impact human healthcare between now and 2020. Major trends and uncertainties are identified, as well as key stakeholder groups expected to play a significant role in shaping the future. Our long-term goal is to provide decision makers in various industries with strategic insights needed to develop, commercialize and deploy emerging life science technologies.

“Future of BioSciences, The - Four Scenarios for 2020 and Their Implications for Human Healthcare” is available from Piribo. For more information go to: http://www.piribo.com/publications/general_industry/future_biosciences_scenarios_2020.html
