The Center for Biomarker Research
Blood-based biomarkers are emerging as one of medicine’s significant clinical research tools. The Center for Biomarker Research was established to expand knowledge of the analysis and application of biomarkers in the practice of medicine.
Through sponsorship of and participation in educational activities and forums, contributions to public policy discussions and serving as a resource for biomarker research, we hope to raise awareness of advancements in this emerging field.
