Biomarker discovery 2.0: Using new technologies to access novel insights into human health and disease
Due to the size and dimensionality of the datasets required, data science is an essential component of modern biomarker discovery and development. It’s no longer feasible to mine and process these data sets manually, which demands collaboration between R&D...
Beyond diagnostics: How biomarkers can be used to de-risk drug development
Biomarker discovery is important not only in the pursuit of better diagnostics but also for de-risking drug development. By leveraging validated biomarkers, you can prioritize drug candidates with higher likelihoods of therapeutic success, thereby reducing the risk of...
Microbial network analysis: How to unravel interactions between taxa
Studying the plant microbiome tells us which phyla, families or species (collectively referred to as ‘taxa’) are present in and around the plant, and how abundant they are. For example, the bacterial phyla Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria...
