The rapid evolution of bio-medical research has changed fundamentally the way we approach pathogens and treatment in medicine. The descriptive and observation-based approach of traditional medical investigation has given way to a science-based approach to understanding the mechanisms responsible for health and disease. The application of this mechanistic approach to designing new prevention and treatment strategies holds great promise for the future of medicine.
Bio medical research encompasses virtually all areas of the life sciences. In its broadest interpretation it includes all biology-based research that aims to understand and improve the human condition. Typically it involves studying fundamental aspects of disease in model systems, be they artificial in vitriol systems or in viva animal models, and then applying the lessons learned to patients. It is a long-term approach. The experiments of today, if successful, might yield clinical effects in five to ten years or beyond.
Nature Medicine is a bio-medical research journal devoted to publishing the latest and most exciting advances in bio-medical research for scientists and physicians, with an emphasis on clarity of presentation. Articles cover fields such as cancer biology, cardiovascular research, gene therapy, immunology, vaccine development, and neuroscience, aiming to keep PhD. and M.D. readers informed of a wide range of bio-medical research findings and that explicitly put developments in science into a medical context. Original research articles published in Nature Medicine range from basic findings that have clear implications for disease pathogens and therapy to the earliest phases of human investigation, and are submitted from research groups at universities, independent research institutions, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries world-wide. As a cross-disciplinary journal at the heart of the international bio medical research community, Nature Medicine publishes the most relevant original research article, news, and commentary that form the foundations of tomorrow's medicine.
