Biomarkers aren’t just influencing early drug development – they’re powering it forward. This expert-led report cuts through the noise to explore how biomarker science is shaping smarter trials, cleaner data and more targeted therapies. From discovery to diagnostics, psychiatry to oncology, it’s clear: biomarkers are delivering real impact where it counts.

What you’ll learn

  • How biomarkers are guiding dose selection and early efficacy decisions in complex trials
  • Why multi-omics, liquid biopsy and digital tools are redefining the discovery process
  • What makes lab data regulatory-ready and why alignment matters from day one
  • What goes wrong when biomarkers fail and how to design for clinical success

Trends we explore

  • The rise of biomarker-led clinical strategy
  • Better tools for real-time, in-human decision-making
  • Assay sensitivity and standardisation across global trial networks
