Battelle's list of the top 10 strategic technologies for 2020: 1. Genetic-based Medical and Health Care. Over the next 20 years, we will witness an explosion of medical technology originating from genetic research, giving us the ability to detect and correct many genetic-based diseases before they arise-possibly even in the womb. A wide range of new pharmaceuticals that originated from genetic research will come onto the market in the next 20 years, leading to treatments, cures, and preventive measures for a host of ailments. They may range from treatments for life-threatening diseases to psychological disorders to cosmetic problems. Most incredible, some of these treatments will be personalized to meet the unique needs of an individual's genetic makeup. "Your doctor might have a record of your genetic makeup," says Eric Majewski of Medical Products, "and he or she might be able to prescribe medications, diets, or other treatments to fit your own particular needs. It will really be the ultimate in individualized care." Battelle forecasters say genetic research also will lead to cloned human organs within 20 years. These organs will be grown and used in transplants. ... ... ... Battelle, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, focuses on technology development and commercialization and product development. With 7,500 employees at more than 60 locations, Battelle develops technologies and products for industry and government. Annual revenues are approximately $1 billion.
