Publisher's Synopsis
Translational medicine is an interdisciplinary branch of the biomedical field that aims to improve human health and longevity by determining the relevance of novel discoveries to human disease in the biological sciences. It is also referred to as translational science. This area of research is supported by three main pillars, namely, benchside, bedside and community. Translational medicine integrates disciplines, resources, expertise, and techniques within these pillars to promote enhancements in prevention, diagnosis, and therapies. It focuses on enhancing clinical medicine by incorporating the latest developments in research, reducing the gap between upcoming knowledge and its clinical application. Translational medicine plays an important role in shortening the duration of clinical trials and providing cost-effective solutions for healthcare delivery. This book provides comprehensive insights into the fundamentals of translational medicine. It is an essential guide for the graduate and postgraduate students, professionals and researchers engaged in this field.
