This book provides a comprehensive
and complete overview of biomarkers in clinical practice for
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) bringing together the literature in a
clear and concise manner. The book bridges the gap between growing
knowledge at the bench and current and future applications of biomarkers
in clinical practice.
The central structure of the book focuses
on prognostic and predictive biomarkers in IBD with an emphasis on the
fields of research and scientific techniques (genomics, proteomics and
metabonomics) that have led to biomarker discovery and places these
biomarkers within a clinical context to help understand their utility in
clinical practice.
This book will be of use to clinicians who
have an interest in using biomarkers in clinical practice as well as
clinician researchers and scientists involved in the biomarker research
pipeline.
The author team comprises experts from around the world
in order to bring together the literature in an effort to inform
clinicians and researchers about the current state-of-the art in
biomarker discovery. It is intended to assist future research efforts
and indicate how biomarkers might be best applied to clinical practice
both at present and in the future.
