11^th Annual Biomarkers and Clinical Research Congress

Biomarkers based on epidemiological investigations

Biomarkers have been classified based on the epidemiological investigations exposure to disease & biomarkers of disease which are also used in the investigation of the natural history and prognosis of a disease. In addition to the factors between exposure and disease, biomarkers have the potential to identify the earliest events in the natural history, reducing the rate of misclassification of both disease and exposure, leads to increase potential mechanisms related to the disease pathogenesis, accounting for some of the variability and effect modification of risk prediction. These epidemiological investigations are one of the reasons behind biomarkers to improve validity while reducing bias in the measurement of exposures (or risk factors) for neurological disease.
