Before 'Translational Medicine': Bench-Clinic Relations since 1950. (360G-Wellcome-092782_Z_10_Z)
In this programme of research our group will determine how relations between biomedical research, clinical research and clinical application have changed since 1950, and explore the lessons for the new paradigm of 'Translational Medicine'. Our hypothesis is that the linear model of innovation, from bench to bedside, that it is central to the current formulation of Translational Medicine is misleading; we will use historical methods to show that interactions between laboratory and clinic were, a nd still are, multiple and complex, and that other sites and agencies shape the nature, rate and success of innovations in diagnosis, treatment and care. Our Research Assistants will work on mental disorders, dementia and stroke, with the PI and CI undertaking work on the impact of molecular biology in diagnosis and treatment. Our three PhD students will look at the work of the Medical Research Council, imaging technologies and evidence-based medicine. As well as engaging with the public in a variety of activities, we will run events with and for researchers and clinicians, advised by a group of distinguished, senior clinicians and researchers.
