- A desire to know about Precision medicine
- A strong aspiration to enhance health fairness within the field of medicine.
Description
In many elements of our day-to-day lives, such as the detection of cancer, cardiovascular illnesses, neurological disorders, and infectious diseases, biomarkers play a significant role. All of these factors provide a positive contribution to the general advancement of human health. It is our obligation as responsible members of society to educate not only ourselves but also the people of the world on the relevance of the problem. This includes educating them on the significance of the issue.
Biomarkers are playing an increasingly important part in modern medicine as they contribute to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of illness. They may assist medical professionals in diagnosing illnesses at an early stage, selecting the appropriate treatment, and tracking a patient's reaction to treatment over time.
The following topics are going to be discussed in depth during this course:
A primer on biomarkers and their uses.
Biomarkers and individualized medical treatment
Testing for Biological Markers
Functions of Biomarkers
The measurement of biomarkers and the distribution of health
Future:Discussions with medical professionals and observations of patients' experiences with biomarker testing.
In the not-too-distant future, we will have a better comprehension of how artificial intelligence and machine learning play a significant role in the formation of biomarkers. When artificial intelligence (AI) is paired with biomarkers, it becomes feasible to unravel intricate connections and give patients with individualized medicine that is tailored to meet their specific needs. Biomarkers such as PSA and CTC are particularly helpful in the detection of cancer as well as the monitoring of the patient's response to treatment.
