Overview

Next Generation Biomarkers: From Omics to Precision Medicine offers a clear methodology for successfully discovering and validating biomarkers using next generation sequencing, along with a comprehensive overview of next generation biomarkers currently used in the clinic. With recent advances in genomics and -omics approaches, elaborative molecular profiling is increasingly employed to gain fundamental insights into disease etiology and progression. Through a case-study based approach, the book examines a variety of NGS genomic and omics approaches to biomarker discovery and validation, along with lessons learned from recent studies and clinical trials. Chapters explore common challenges, regulations and strategies for more accurate and efficient development of next generation biomarkers, and NGS approaches, ranging from whole exome sequencing, to whole genome sequencing, epigenomic profiling, transcriptomics, peptidomics, proteomics, liquid biopsy, ethical considerations, and patient empowerment in biomarker development.

Author Information

Dr. Wim Van Criekinge graduated in 1994 as a Chemical Engineer from the University of Ghent, Belgium, where he also earned his PhD in Molecular Biology in 1998. Today he holds a part-time Professorship at the same university, where he is head of the laboratory for computational genomics and bioinformatics (Biobix) within the department of molecular biotechnology. He is a founding partner of NXT-GNT, a next generation sequencing facility and board member of N2N (nucleotides 2 networks), a multidisciplinary platform grouping systems biology expertise at the University of Ghent. In 1997 he was co-founder and director of Devgen, a biotechnology company, which had a successful IPO in June 2005. Dr. Van Criekinge has also worked as a consultant for the government (iHealth) and various biotech companies, and he currently serves as VP of Science & Technology at MDx-Health. Dr. Van Criekinge has published over 130 peer reviewed papers in topics ranging from epigenetics to biotechnology, translational medicine, bioinformatics, ICT, pharmacogenomics, eHealth, biobanking, omics, and biomarker research.
