   In 2010, the global biomarkers market was an estimated value of $13.5
   billion. Forecasters predict significant growth in the years ahead
   with estimates of $33.3 billion by the end of 2015. This growth will
   most certainly be driven by the current demand for biomarkers in drug
   discovery and other areas of R&D . The use of biomarkers during early
   stages of a product development is already saving costs and time in
   the industry by indicating the possibility of failure at an earlier
   stage in the research process. CROs have now recognised the commercial
   opportunities of biomarkers and are forming partnerships with
   providers and building in-house capabilities.
   
   Visiongains 4th Biomarkers Conference will provide attendees with an
   in-depth understanding of the use of biomarkers in R&D and will
   explore recent developments in this fast growing sector. Industry
   experts will also address unmet needs, challenges and discuss
   practical aspects of biomarker implementation.
