Abstract
Biomarkers are characteristics that are objectively measured and evaluated as indicators of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention or other health care intervention (Atkinson et al. 2001). They have significant scientific and clinical value in modern medicine. This chapter contains the most up-to-date information on the regulatory bodies, journals, books, professional bodies, emerging techniques and platforms, and websites that are relevant to an evidence-based approach to the use of biomarkers in health and disease.
