14^th Global Biomarkers Summit

Biomarkers in patient selection

Biomarkers in patient selection point towards Personalized medicine. Different individual responds differently to different treatments which results in therapy’s poor outcomes. For stratification of different patients according to their treatment response molecular profiling of the individual is done. This stratification diagnostic indicates towards different Biomarkers that are identified in an individual in response to distinct treatments. With these markers identifying patients that are more likely to respond favorably to a given therapy, determining the predisposition to disease at the population level, the drug doses and the deliver time is optimized.
