16^th Global Biomarkers and Clinical Research Summit

Genetic-based Biomarkers and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Biomarkers have several uses in pharmaceutical R & D. With the recent introduction of high performance instrumentation, protein and gene arrays and bioinformatics, clinical decisions like Drug development and choosing type of treatment can be made efficiently. However, there is a lack of valid biomarkers to increase the drug development from pre-clinical through all levels of clinical studies. Biomarker in Drug Discovery can also lead to development of Personalized Medicines.
