Abstract:

Perhaps this may be considered our gourmet issue, as it contains plenty of good food for thought served by many respected leaders in diagnostic medicine and related fields. We think that you will be surprised by some of the answers, be interested by most and, possibly, provoked by a few. If so, we have achieved our goal, that of stimulating thought and provoking a re-assessment of critical strategic assumptions about the future of diagnostic medicine. As an appetizer, taste some of these morsels, and we think you'll be ready to move on to the very large main course inside.

Pharmacogenomics will begin to mature as the real thing. — Charlie Cantor (Sequenom)

The technology, which has served us so well for the past few decades, will have a hard time taking us into the new millennium. — Peter Wilding (University of Pennsylvania)

Metcalf's law, which was the driving force behind the internet, is going to be equally applicable in genomics. — Randy Scott (Incyte)

...it's easier for people to understand that they can buy a book over the internet, but, because of the complexity of biotechnology, they don't understand how biotechnology is really fundamentally changing people's lives. — Dave Tholen (Hycor)

A new branch of medicine will be created...regenerative medicine. — William Hazeltine (Human Genome Sciences)

...10 years from now...60% to 80% of central lab work will disappear, and it will be more than point of care; it will actually be individual or what I call "virtual" care. — Dave Cooper (diaDexus)

... bioinformatics will become very important over the next five years and will create a new source of opportunity. — Vince Forlenza (Becton Dickinson)

...the heart of the matter is how we're putting the information together..., all of the information, the whole electronic/medical record, and how we're using that to really better deliver health care and information. — Myla Lai-Goldman (LabCorp)

...expect to see a growth in diagnostics that are spawned from the genomics discoveries that are going on today. — Dawn Matthews (Motorola)

...technology makes our lives as physicians more interesting and more rewarding and more productive. — Jim Powell (TriPath)
