The concepts that define microarray were developed in the late 1980s. Less than
a decade later we witnessed large-scale efforts to commercialize microarrays, and
today they are seasoned tools eagerly employed by a world of scientists. This multi-
plexing technology (formatted as slides, plates, biochips, or beads) now is undergoing
the scrutiny required for the standardization that is essential to drive its adoption in
future prognostic and diagnostic applications. Microarray technology continues to
evolve, taking on different forms: Originating with the glass microscope slide and
biochip, it is now pressing onward into the nanotechnology frontier. From the spotting
of cDNA and the in situ synthesis of oligonucleotide arrays now come microarrays
comprising proteins, carbohydrates, drugs, tissues, and cells. For myself, it has been
a great adventure into the multidisciplinary approach to research. I am indebted
to Jim Osborne, who championed our cause from the helm of Beckman Coulter’s
Advanced Technology Center, and to Ed Southern, who inspired us all. I would also
like to thank my co-authors for their hard work and dedication in providing such
excellent contributions to this book.
I remain hopeful for these arrays of small spots, with the expectation that
microarrays will ultimately reduce the cost of healthcare. I invite you to join us in
that endeavor.
