Information About

Translational Medicine




Translational medicine can also have a much broader definition, referring to the development and application of new technologies in a patient driven environment - where the emphasis is on early patient testing and evaluation. In modern Healthcare , we are seeing a move to a more open, patient driven research process, and the embrace of a more research driven clinical practice of medicine.

Many Pharmaceutical Companies are building translational medicine groups to facilitate the interaction between basic research clinical medicine, particularly in Clinical Trial s. Traditionally, basic research has been separated from the clinical practice of medicine by a series of hurdles or fences. New drugs were developed independently of the Clinic , and often "thrown over the fence" for safety testing and clinical trials. The move toward translational medicine is focused on removing these fences, and stimulating "bench to bedside" research.
