"In summary, this book provides an excellent introduction and overview of discovery and application of biomarkers in medicine and drug discovery and development. The chapters are well structured, with plenty of literature references for further reading, and supplemented with links to web-based resources." (ChemMedChem, 2011)

"They cover tools for discovering biomarkers, biomarkers for injury or disease, technology for detecting biomarkers, and hot topics in biomarker research." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)"This book provides an introduction to the field of biomarkers, how they have been and can be used, and how different approaches can be used to identify, characterize, and monitor biomarkers." (News Blaze, 1 November 2010)

This book provides an introduction to the field of biomarkers, how they have been and can be used, and how different approaches can be used to identify, characterize, and monitor biomarkers. The book has chapters on topics including HIV, Cancer, Parkinson’s, vascular injury, environmental exposure. A following section discusses the technologies (diagnostics and assays) to detect biomarkers and authors have emphasized the preclinical and clinical manifestation of the injury/disease process.
