Biomarkers, Cancer Therapy & Clinical Research

Genomics biomarkers

Current genomics and biotechnology promise the development of biomarkers to a state to predict individual disease risk which enable early detection of disease and improve diagnostic classification to better inform individualized treatment. Biomarkers are biological measurements which can be used to predict risk of diseases, to enable early detection of disease, to improve treatment selection and to monitor the outcome of therapeutic interventions. The major objective of the Human Genome Project was the identification and development of such biomarkers for ‘personalized, preventive and predictive medicine’.
