Williamstown, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/17/2012 --Biomarkers Market (Discovery Technologies, Applications & Indications) - Global Trends, Opportunities & Forecasts (2011 - 2020)

A biomarker is defined as a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic response to a therapeutic intervention. Biomarkers are classified in different ways based on different parameters such as on the basis of their application, their characteristics and on their usage in decision making in early drug development. With drug development facing challenges from ever increasing cost of developing drugs and rise in the failure rate for drugs in phase II and III clinical trials, biomarkers are being employed on large scale by pharmaceutical companies to overcome these challenges. Also the advent of personalized medicine and companion diagnostics is witnessing a strong presence of use of biomarkers and holds to be a big opportunity for the overall biomarker market.
