The Healthcare practice at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its 2008 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on the North American cancer molecular diagnostics market to be held on Thursday July 24, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. PDT.

The presentation will cover strategic insight into the U.S. cancer molecular diagnostics market and how the market correlates with growth in the world of personalized medicine. The briefing will examine the competitive dynamics of two main routes to get cancer molecular diagnostic tests to market - CLIA versus IVD models. It is crucial for any company or investor to examine the details of the rapid growth taking place in the fragmented space of the cancer molecular diagnostics market in order to exploit growth opportunities.

The briefing will benefit: clinical diagnostics companies and pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, personalized medicine companies, companion diagnostics companies, investors and venture capital firms, life sciences research tools providers, platform technology providers, biomarker discovery companies, pharmacogenomics services providers, and contract research organizations. The briefing will highlight the critical questions that surround companion diagnostics and pharmacogenomicsyea.

"The regulatory environment around the cancer molecular diagnostics is still in flux," states Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Sudeep Basu, PhD. "While the near term benefit the adoption of a CLIA lab-based strategy are reaping, the long term view must be kept in perspective."
