Boston Biomedical Consultants, Inc. (BBC), headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, just 20 minutes west of downtown Boston, continually seeks talented and motivated individuals. With a concentration in the IVD market, BBC tracks any factor that touches the delivery of healthcare and the demand for IVD testing, whether a test is conducted in a laboratory, physician office/clinic, the Emergency Room, or by the patient at home.
IVD Markets and Industry
In vitro diagnostic testing is fundamental to the practice of medicine, and with the breakthroughs in biotechnology, in the cancer area for instance, highly advanced therapy targeted/tailored to the patient will drive demand for increased molecular-based IVD testing. The ongoing developments in laboratory automation, along with rapid developments in personalized medicine/pharmacogenomics, point of care testing and patient self testing, coupled with buoyant geographic market expansion, will continue to fuel growth in the IVD market.
