- Abstract
The author reflects on the efforts of medical practitioners and researchers to enhance their capability to intervene several diseases by understanding biological markers (biomarkers) to drive translational research, a science research applicable for population. He agrees that by understanding biomarkers, it would guide treatment choices to reduce the risk of the diseases. A discussion on the two medical diagnostic tests namely MammaPrint and Oncotype DX for breast cancer is also offered. The author also mentions of the two communities involved in transitional research including the scientists who are working to produce new technologies and group of medical personnel who are seeking new insights for patient-oriented studies.
