Translational Medicine Summary

Translational Medicine: The Future of Therapy? by James Mittra

This book brings together a range of academic, industry and practitioner perspectives on translational medicine (TM) to significantly enhance conceptual and practical understanding of the emergence and progress of the field and its potential impact on basic research, therapeutic development, and institutional infrastructure/resources. In recognition of the various implications TM has for public health policy and commercial innovation, this cutting-edge, interdisciplinary book addresses the major systemic aspects of the field.

Translational Medicine Reviews

"This is a book that should be read by all those aiming to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of translation of science into clinical practice and health outcomes. Unlike other contributions in the field, it takes a holistic approach to the problem and recognises the dynamic nature of demand for as well as supply of health innovation, identifying strategies to integrate the two. This book has been needed for some time, but, with stagnating productivity and ever-increasing economic pressures, never more so than right now."Prof. Iain Gillespie, The University of Edinburgh, UK
