Healthcare Technology and News: Reportlinker.com Adds Report on Innovations in Fighting Against Infectious Diseases


Reportlinker.com, a search engine that compiles reports, company profiles and market statistics published by various Private and Public Organizations and provides the users with access to an extensive collection of Industry, company and country reports, has announced to add a new report to its catalogue, which examines the opportunities in therapeutics and diagnostics through application of various new technologies and methodologies.
The report is titled ‘Innovations in Combating Infectious Diseases: Opportunities in therapeutics and diagnostics through application of proteomics, genomics, nanotechnology, and novel sources of lead generation’, and provides an insight into how new technologies and approaches are being applied to the discovery of new drug targets, vaccine candidates, lead compounds, and novel delivery systems that will enhance diagnostics and therapeutics across the whole range of infectious diseases.
With the increasing complexities of the modern lifestyle, infectious diseases have been becoming a serious problem, and although significant breakthroughs have been achieved during the last century in the development of antibiotic, antiviral, and antiparasitic drugs and vaccines, many infectious diseases have not been successfully eradicated as yet. Especially, the issues of rapidly developing drug resistance, emerging diseases, re-emerging diseases and the threat of bioterrorism have been posing pandemic threats in front of pharmaceutical experts and scientists. Apart from it, accurate and rapid diagnosis plays a vital role in effective treatment of infectious diseases, which in itself can present significant challenges, especially when the disease progression is not being understood properly or quickly.
The report by Reportlinker.com offers detailed and comprehensive analysis of the modern research, and aims to reveal how bacteria, viruses, fungi, and prions infect and affect their hosts. It also examines new technologies and techniques that are being used to design and develop the anti-infective drugs and diagnostic methods adopted in the modern times. There exists a huge market for drugs and vaccines that can effectively combat against infectious agents that put millions of people at risk. It is important to understand the pathogenic process and gain insight into where and how it can best be interrupted, for development of these drugs.
Additionally, the report also takes into account a number of other aspects related to the infectious disease related drug industry, such as the ways proteomics is being used in identifying biomarkers for new diagnostics in infectious diseases and in identifying novel targets for drug discovery and vaccine development in infectious diseases, the impact genomics have on the search for novel targets for infectious disease drug discovery, novel natural sources for lead generation in infectious diseases and lead optimization techniques relevant to infectious diseases.
Recently, Reportlinker.com had announced to introduce a new market research report titled “Global Enterprise DECT Phones Industry,” which examines the Global market for Enterprise DECT Phones in thousand and million dollar units, and presents the annual estimates and forecasts for the period 2006 through 2015.
