To understand how the biomedical industry will be changing in five years, we must look at it with an eye for what is yet to come. There are many trends that can’t yet materialize because they haven’t received enough attention or funding; however if you take a closer look there’s no shortage on things like gene therapy and stem cell research which may make headlines soon.
