Pharmacology: an important research approach for translational medicine
摘要:Translational medicine is a new concept for the research in the medical sciences and it aims to establish a communication bridge from laboratory to clinical application.Pharmacology is important link between clinical application to other life science disciplines and also is an important approach for translational medicine.The development of pharmacology can effectively promote the combinations of basic medicine with clinical medicine,pharmacy with medicine,chemistry with life science,engineering science with medicine,and basic science research with clinical medicine,and then to build the communication bridge within these disciplines,and ultimately to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment by drug application.Promoting the development of pharmacology is an important approach toward the development of translational medicine,moreover,is the main content for the ultimate goal accomplishment.
