Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several decades of intensive research have originated multiple factors or biomarkers that are likely to be helpful in the diagnosis, characterization, and therapy selection. A deep understanding of the relative relevance of each biomarker will be key to efficiently diagnose diseases, adverse drug responses and direct our patients towards the drugs more likely to be of benefit based on their particular profile. There is an enormous effort to identify, characterize, and validate meaningful biomarkers because its successful development will represent a step forward in the individualization of diagnosis, therapy or monitoring and improving quality of life.
