Our latest look at the protein science market
Over the years I’ve been intrigued by the concept of convergence – that blurring of distinctions between markets or technologies or even between suppliers and their customers. In a report just published by BioInformatics LLC in collaboration with the American Chemical Society, we look at protein science as an area where we’re observing convergence in […]
What Is Wrong With This Picture?
Recently I received an email invitation to vote in a new awards program offered by a life science publisher… A few things bothered me: 1. I’m not a scientist. Nor are any of the others here at the office who received this invitation. Clearly there wasn’t much in the way of list control. 2. You […]
Instrumentation Service Contracts: Opportunities for Differentiation
We’re very excited about our latest report. We’ve known for a long time that scientists consider service to be an integral part of all of the products they purchase. But this is especially true with capital equipment. With many service models to choose from—in-house, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), multi-vendor, etc.—service providers must innovate to find […]
Niche Building Enables Smaller Suppliers to Exist Alongside Industry Giants
Still more to talk about regarding this year’s Life Science Industry Awards…Invitrogen’s margin of victory in the Cell Culture Media and Reagents category is one of the largest across all product and service categories for the 2008 LSIA. Additionally, its CVS was the second highest of the category’s Finalists. Nevertheless, while Lonza (Cambrex) only secured […]
LSIA ’08 Uncovering the Hidden Success Stories
For this year’s awards, more than 650 different companies were nominated in 20 different categories and 45 achieved the coveted status of Finalist. While only 20 individual companies were named Winners, the record number of Finalists only serves to emphasize the significance of this year’s LSIA theme of “Look Beneath the Surface.” While scientists have […]
Look Beneath the Surface
“Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee.” -Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Roman Emperor and Philosopher Well it’s been nearly two weeks since we co-hosted the 2008 Life Science Industry Awards and the surrounding buzz continues to be electric. There’ve been more mentions of it in the […]

An Intro to Customer Switching
Well for better or worse I’m back and thanks for the emails asking where I’ve been! It’s nice to know the work I put into our blog is appreciated. Did you know that in any given year about 1/3 of your customer base is vulnerable? That sounds like the sort of conventional wisdom thrown about […]
Defining the Life Science Industry
What’s in a name? Apparently a lot because I’ve noticed more and more companies adopting the “life science” moniker – big pharmas, biotechs, CROs, even IT and software companies. I’ve even seen reports from top-tier consulting firms that include hospitals and physicians in what they refer to as the “life science” space. As we begin […]
