We conduct innovative research covering all areas of modern medicine

Although the diagnostic criteria for most diseases are clearly defined, there are still many diseases in which they remain ambiguous. At the same time, to diagnose many diseases it is necessary to perform invasive procedures, potentially associated with a risk of complications. Another problem is availability of highly specialized imaging tests, often necessary to make a diagnosis. “The solution to these problems may lie in biomarkers, ultimately available in everyday clinical practice,” wrote Grzegorz Procyk, a fifth-year medical student and a second-year doctoral student at the Doctoral School of the Medical University of Warsaw.
