Biomarkers and the Future of Precision Medicine
Biomarkers hold immense potential for the future of medicine, enabling more efficient and better-targeted treatments. Most coverage of novel biomarkers to date has been focused on how a patient’s genetic signature can indicate their susceptibility to a disease, but there is a world of other biological and environmental information that can impact how patients respond to treatments. In this blog, SCIEX’s Aaron Hudson explains how non-genetic biomarkers have a key role to play in reaching the goal of truly precise medicine.
