Join us for this webinar to learn about biomarkers, their utility in diagnosing and predicting brain disorders, and their potential to revolutionize treatment for these conditions.

Biomarkers (short for biological markers) refer to a broad set of characteristics “that [can be] objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.”1

In clinical practice, biomarkers are routinely used during medical examinations to monitor and predict health states. For example, a general health check may include the assessment of blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol as indicators a of an individual’s overall cardiovascular health. However, the use of biomarkers for brain disorders has been limited up until recently. Improvements in technology have made it easier for clinicians to reliably assess biomarkers associated with brain disorders. As a result, biomarkers are increasingly becoming instrumental in brain disorders for confirming diagnoses, choosing the best treatments, and monitoring disease progression. This translates to less invasive testing, earlier diagnosis, faster drug development, and eventually, more effective and personalized treatments.

In this webinar, we will introduce you to the concept of biomarkers, explain the different types of biomarkers that are currently being used to diagnose and predict brain disorders, and discuss the potential of biomarkers to revolutionize treatment for brain diseases.
