  2. North American Bio-Marker Market • Key Takeaways: • Discovery of bio-markers via investments in genomics and proteomics • Global omics-based market expected to reach $41Bn by 2014 ; US CAGR ~ 17% * Includes Nano-mass Spectrometry Source: Marketresearch.com

  3. Laboratory Services Industry Trends • Reallocation of biopharmaceutical R&D on more late-stage projects • Slowdown of biotech capital raises is easing • Heavy M&A activity has resulted in some short-term excess capacity and resulted in a softening of revenues

  4. Current Position • The MBAC provides very high end scientific services to researchers in the life sciences. MBAC mostly serves IUB and the IU medical school faculty. MBAC has also completed projects for clients outside the IU system ($75-$100,000 in the last 3 years). • Rates for internal collaborative and service customers is fairly low and clients feel that the indirect costs they pay out of their grants should cover the expenses. • The client base does not realize the value of the services and/or the cost of providing them. • Although corporate clients can afford higher rates, there are challenges in getting those projects
