Preface

“Basically, there are two things in life, science and personal thoughts. The first leads to knowledge, the second to ignorance (Hippocrates).”

This detailed book will provide a vital guide to further understanding the current and future biomarkers, one of the most important trends in healthcare today. This book will facilitate the combination of therapeutics with diagnostics and will consequently feature the key correlations between diseases and classifications of biomarkers. The book has chapters on topics such as cancer, neuroscience, cardiology, immunology/immunotherapy, metabolism, pharmacology, haematology, obstetrics and gynecology, hepatology, aging, obesity, urology, nephrology, microbiology, gastroenterology, pediatrics, surgery, pulmonary diseases, pathology and also emphasizes on the preclinical and clinical manifestation of the injury and disease process. This book will supply the unique insight of an expert with extensive experience in diagnostics and clinical laboratory, offering case studies and practical examples from different classes of biomarkers on different platforms, including new data for biomarkers in different therapeutic indications. Clinicians managing patients or clinical trials, clinical researchers, clinical laboratories, diagnostic companies, regulatory agencies, medical school graduate students, academic students, and the general public will all benefit from this book. We would like to thank all my colleagues, Bentham publishing house, and the staff for their support in the preparation of this book. A good book is a real treasure.
