Cardiovascular Biomarker Translational Research

Biomarker translational research is the process of developing diagnostic, prognostic, and monitoring tools that can be used in clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. The goal of biomarker translational research is to bridge the gap between basic research findings and clinical practice. This research involves multiple stages, including discovery, validation, clinical evaluation, regulatory approval, and implementation, and requires collaboration between researchers from different fields, including basic scientists, clinicians, biostatisticians, and regulatory agencies. Biomarker translational research is critical for advancing precision medicine and improving patient care.
