Focus on Diagnostics
  Contents     Editorials    News  Commentary
Features Research Review Feedback
Clinical diagnostics is a downstream application of a significant fraction of technologies published in Nature Biotechnology. This focus provides an overview of recent progress in biomarker discovery and validation and an assessment of the scientific, business, regulatory, intellectual property, technology transfer and logistical challenges in accelerating the integration of these markers into diagnostic tests for use in guiding treatment selection and dosage.
