Career Path
Biomarker researchers are responsible for the initial discovery and characterization of potential biomarkers. Their work involves using various techniques to identify and analyze biological molecules that can indicate a particular disease or health condition. 2. **Clinical Data Analyst (25%)**
Clinical data analysts help translate raw data into meaningful insights by analyzing, validating, and interpreting clinical trial information. Their work aids in identifying trends and patterns, which ultimately assists researchers in understanding the potential value and applications of biomarkers. 3. **Biomarker Validation Engineer (15%)**
Biomarker validation engineers ensure that biomarkers can be reliably and consistently detected and measured. They perform various tests and experiments to verify the biomarker's accuracy, precision, and robustness, ultimately facilitating the development of diagnostic tests and assays. 4. **Regulatory Affairs Specialist (10%)**
Regulatory affairs specialists ensure that biomarker-based products and tests comply with the necessary laws, regulations, and guidelines. They collaborate with researchers, clinicians, and other stakeholders to prepare and submit applications to regulatory bodies, such as the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). 5. **Biomarker Translational Scientist (10%)**
Biomarker translational scientists bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application. They work to develop biomarker-based diagnostic tests and treatments, guiding products from the research stage to the clinic. Understanding the distribution of these roles can provide valuable insights into the biomarker field's current state and future growth areas in the UK.
