Abstract
Biomarkers are the base of any description of physiology, disease and interventional effects including those by drugs. Their value in aiding translational processes may range from nonspecific, unreliable or inaccessible to highly predictive or even surrogate quality precisely predicting clinical endpoints. Thus, identification, development and validation of biomarkers are pivotal for translational processes, and related predictivity scoring represent important sources supporting prioritization and improvement plans. They could be single or multiple readouts with challenges regarding statistical multiplicity issues, and are specifically chosen to support a given project. Most biomarkers are derived from biological fluids, or imaging procedures. Examples are given for cardiovascular, oncological and CNS biomarkers.
