Molecular Biomarkers: Enabling Predictive and Personalized Medicine

Molecular biomarkers are measurable biological indicators such as fragments of DNA, RNA, proteins, or metabolites that reveal the presence, risk, or progression of disease. They are revolutionizing modern healthcare by enabling earlier detection, precise diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and tailored therapies

What Is a Molecular Biomarker?

A molecular biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, urine, tissues, or other body fluids that can signal:

  • Disease Research (infection, metabolic disorders) 
  • Response to therapy (effectiveness or resistance)
Types of Molecular Biomarkers
Biomarker Type
ExampleClinical Use
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)BRCA1/2 mutationsDetect breast or prostate cancer risk
microRNAs (miRNAs)miR-21, miR-141Early markers of cancer and heart disease
Specific proteinsPSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)Monitoring prostate cancer
MetabolitesGlucose, lactateIndicators of diabetes or cellular stress

Technologies Used for Detection
