Research Overview

This edition of the Life Science, Health & Wellness Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) focuses on microbiome-based technologies, such as high throughput isolation and culturing of microbes, microbial biomarker-based diagnostics, microbial single cell genomic analysis, and so on. Recent advances in synthetic biology platforms along with developments in lab automation and microfluidics technologies, which are bolstering the field have also been covered. Innovations around artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) augmented diagnostics have been highlighted, and this includes both image-based diagnostics and molecular diagnostics. Many of the innovations covered in this issue support new biomarker discovery and novel therapeutics development.

The Life Science, Health & Wellness TOE will feature disruptive technology advances in the global life sciences industry. The technologies and innovations profiled will encompass developments across genetic engineering, drug discovery and development, biomarkers, tissue engineering, synthetic biology, microbiome, disease management, as well as health and wellness among several other platforms.

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.
