Abstract  Despite continuous efforts to improve the process of drug discovery and development,achieving success at the clinical stageremains challenging because of a persistent translational gap between the preclinical and clinical settings. Under these circumstances, the discovery of human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has brought new hope to the drug discovery field because they enable scientists to humanize a variety of pharmacological and toxicological models in vitro.Theavailability of human iPS cell-derived cells,their potential to differentiate into specific functional cells, tissues and organs, has provided new avenues for studying diseases and cell therapy. Biomarkers are an essential part of the translational effort to shift new discoveries from bench to bedside as they provide a measurable indicator to evaluate pharmacological and toxicological effects in both preclinical and clinical settings. In general, during the preclinical stage of drug development, in vitro models that are established to recapitulate human diseases are validated by using a set of biomarkers; however, their translatability to a clinical setting remains problematic. An overview of the current strategies for human iPS cell-based drug discovery from the perspective of translational research is provided.
