Abstract: Biomarkers hold immense promise in revolutionizing various aspects of healthcare. Biomarkers are not limited to human medicine but also play a crucial role in veterinary medicine. They serve as crucial indicators reflecting physiological, pathological, or pharmacological responses to therapeutic interventions. Biomarkers are likely to play a significant role, especially in the field of personalized medicine. As the understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of diseases continues to grow, there's a heightened focus on pinpointing the biomarkers that are associated with certain diseases or conditions. Moreover, biomarkers hold immense promise in drug development. By identifying specific biomarkers that are associated with a disease, researchers can develop drugs and therapies that target those biomarkers, leading to more effective treatments with fewer side effects. Advancements in technology, such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, are also expected to play a significant role in the future of biomarkers. These technologies allow the identification and analysis of large amounts of biological data, which can help to identify new biomarkers and improve our understanding of disease mechanisms.
