A biomarker is a measurable indicator of a biological state or condition. It can be a molecule, gene, characteristic, or substance that can be objectively measured and evaluated as a sign of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacological responses to a therapeutic intervention.
Biomarkers are widely used in clinical research and medical practice to assess health states, disease risk, or treatment effectiveness. They can be found in various biological samples such as blood, urine, or tissue, and may include genetic markers, proteins, hormones, or specific cellular changes.
Biomarkers play a crucial role in clinical research by providing objective, quantifiable data about biological processes and drug responses. They enable researchers to assess the safety and efficacy of new treatments more accurately and efficiently, potentially reducing the time and cost of drug development.
Furthermore, biomarkers can help identify suitable patients for clinical trials, improving study design and increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes. They also contribute to the development of personalized medicine by allowing healthcare providers to tailor treatments based on individual patient characteristics and responses.
