Third Wave Technologies, Inc.

Third Wave Technologies is riding the biotech breakers. Using its Invader technology, Third Wave develops molecular diagnostic tests that detect genetic variations associated with a variety of conditions, including cystic fibrosis, cardiovascular risk factors, and infectious disease. Some tests can determine a patient's likely response to certain drugs, making it possible for doctors to avoid prescribing a drug that might cause dangerous side effects. Third Wave company has a strong presence in Japan, where it has a collaboration agreement with genetic researchers at the University of Tokyo. Third Wave Technologies was acquired by Hologic in 2008 for $580 million.
