ARLINGTON, VA (PRWEB) August 2, 2003 -- The Science Advisory Board has just released a comprehensive summary of its recent studies. This report highlights the results of studies members have taken since 2001 along with supporting graphics and member insights pertaining to the instrumentation and reagents utilized in their research.

The Enabling Discoveries can be downloaded from The Science Advisory Boards home page at http://scienceboard.net/

Dr. Tamara Zemlo, Director of Scientific and Medical Communications, states that "It was clear from our recent Site Satisfaction Survey that members of The Science Advisory Board really want to find out what their colleagues are saying regarding the techniques and technologies they employ. We wanted to provide, in addition to the highlights cited in the Study Snapshots section that are posted regularly on the website, a thorough review of the data collected from these detailed studies."

This report includes a summary of protein science and proteomics as the next evolution of genomics. This section highlights the top suppliers of the tools for these technologies along with specific needs of both large- and small-scale proteomic research in the areas of expression and purification, separation, visualization, identification, and characterization.

New and existing methods for accelerating drug discovery are explained in Tools of Drug Discovery." This section reveals the cutting-edge technologies used in Drug Discovery, Automated DNA Sequencing, Bioinformatics, DNA Microarrays, Bioassays, High Throughput Screening (HTS), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).

The section on New Tools for Enabling Discovery" highlights the top suppliers and methods involved with SNP Genotyping Technology, RNA Interference Technology, Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), Toxicogenomics, Cytokines, Growth Factors, along with the perceptions of brand in the life science market.

ABOUT THE SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD

The Science Advisory Board is an online panel of more than 15,700 scientists, physicians and other life science and medical professionals from 62 countries. By convening electronically, Science Advisory Board members participate in online studies to voice their opinions on issues that directly affect the evolution and development of the tools and techniques of their professions.

Scientists can contribute their own views on the tools and techniques of their field by participating at http://www.scienceboard.net. The Science Advisory Board was organized in 1997 by BioInformatics, LLC (http://www.gene2drug.com), a research and consulting firm located in Arlington, VA.
