Biomarkers have various applications including disease detection, diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of response to intervention, and disease monitoring. In this era of precision medicine, having validated biomarkers to inform clinical decision making is more important than ever. In this article, we discuss best the practices and potential issues in biomarker discovery and validation. We encourage team science partnerships to bring cutting-edge discovery from bench to bedside, leading to improved patient care and outcomes.
生物标志物有多种应用,包括疾病检测、诊断、预后、干预反应预测和疾病监测。在精准医学时代,拥有经过验证的生物标志物来为临床决策提供信息比以往任何时候都更加重要。在本文中,我们讨论了生物标志物发现和验证的最佳实践和潜在问题。我们鼓励团队科学合作,将前沿发现从实验室带到床边,从而改善患者的护理和结局。
