Understanding Science: What is a Biomarker?

We often hear the term ‘biomarker’ used in medical research, but what does it mean?

In the video below, our co-founder and chief science communicator, Brett Drummond, answers this very question. As part of his explanation, he looks at neurofilament light chain (NfL) and its potential role as a biomarker in multiple sclerosis.

As always, if you have any questions for Brett, please either comment below, join the conversation on our social channels or email them to him directly at brett@mstranslate.com.au.
