Trends
  • Linchpin SEO, a marketing and web design agency, predicts that some top trends in the Life Sciences industry in 2020 will be personalized medicine through advancements in genetics; collaborative innovation of various life sciences companies; and increased digitalized assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients.
