 estigate biomedical questions is exploding in epidemiological and medical 
 research. Exploring the relationships between biomarker levels and health 
 outcomes can have potentially profound effects on the biomedical community
 \, leading to new etiological discoveries\, as well as increased diagnosti
 c capabilities for disease.\n\n\n	In estimating parameters of interest such
  as means\, variances\, hazard and odds ratios for a particular biomarker\
 , population scientists face two main challenges: (1) overcoming the cost 
 of performing a large number of assays and (2) dealing with measurement er
 ror either due to technical or intra-individual variability. In this works
 hop\, we will explore new designs and analytical techniques to overcome so
 me of the challenges while studying biomarkers\, such as pooling designs\,
  hybrid designs\, calibration techniques\, threshold evaluation and causal
  methods. We will cover how different biomarkers are measured and that aff
 ects epidemiological parameters of interest.\n\n\n	Register at: https://epi
