Biomarkers have a wide range of applications in bioanalytical sciences, including:
Disease diagnosis: Biomarkers can help in the early detection of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases. Prognosis: They can predict the likely course or outcome of a disease, helping clinicians to tailor treatment plans. Therapeutic monitoring: Biomarkers can be used to monitor the response to treatment, ensuring that the patient is benefiting from the therapy. Drug development: In pharmaceutical research, biomarkers can be used to identify target populations, predict drug responses, and monitor side effects.
