This report assesses the RNA interference market for drug R&D. RNA interference (RNAi) has been hailed in the science media as the hottest technical breakthrough in bioscience in the last ten years. A 2006 Nobel Prize was awarded to the two scientists that discovered this important biological effect.

RNAi allows scientists to disrupt or silence the expression of a gene being studied. RNAi can also be used as a therapeutic agent. This field has quickly emerged as a fast growing young market. The report provides the WW outlook and market trends.

This must-have report discusses how an expanding number of companies have created a vibrant commercial market that has segmented into different areas of life science research and drug R&D. The market might be worth billions in a few years.

This study reviews the market landscape and analyzes the players. The market areas studied range from life science research products and services to therapeutics or drug delivery tools for RNAi agents.

The report discusses RNAi topics including dsRNA, shRNA, siRNA, ddRNA, miRNA, RNAi-as-drug, and targeted disease areas. This study analyzes RNAi deals including M&As, alliances and examples of patent considerations. For example, a number of big pharma companies are developing drugs with RNAi and have either licensed or partnered with RNAi R&D companies. One big pharma acquired a leading RNAi developer.
