Overview
Biomarker epidemiology is a field of research that studies the use of biological markers (such as proteins, hormones, and genetic markers) to help understand the epidemiology of health conditions and diseases, and their risk factors. This method of research is important to understand the cause and risk of disease, and to develop better treatments. Biomarker epidemiology is also important in understanding the effects of environmental exposures on the health of individuals and communities. This research has a wide range of applications, such as the development of diagnostic tests, risk assessment, and the assessment of environmental health risks. It is an increasingly important research field that offers promise of better understanding, more effective management and treatment, and ultimately improved health for everyone.
