Profiles

Profiles published here have completed one of the QIBA Profile Stages of development and been approved by their Biomarker Committee.

Profiles may be of use at any Stage.

Comment Resolutions are posted for Past Public Comments and Past Technical Confirmations.

Tools to aid Biomarker Committees in collating these comments:

• {Public Comment Resolution} - Editor collates all comments into a resolution spreadsheet (see Google Sheet template)
• {Site responses for Stage 3} - Field Test Leader collates all Feedback comments into a Feedback Resolution spreadsheet
