Biomarkers

Biomarkers are measurable biological molecules or characteristics that can be used to identify and track a person's response to a biological stimulus or treatment. They are used to monitor and diagnose diseases, determine prognosis, assess the efficacy of treatments and for personalized medicine. Biomarkers have also been used to measure environmental exposure and to study the impact of lifestyle choices. The use of biomarkers is becoming increasingly important in medical research as they provide invaluable insight into the complex interactions between our environment, genes and health.
