Innovation in Medicine: New Ideas for Translation

Vivek Anand Ojha

Abstract: Innovation in medical science singularly relies on the concept of critical thinking, and theoretical modelling. Application of basic finding to diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease using cell, animal or human models are the main components of Translational Research. Translational medicine (TM) is the progression of research from bench side to bedside. In the last 10 years or so TM researchers have developed a more telescopic vision, slowly and steadily translational research is becoming a central theme in many educational and central government strategies with the primary objective to construct integration of research from trivial disciplines and conjoining academic and clinical centres into a consortium and make a collaborative expertise. Translational research is understood as the systematic inquiry directed toward the creation of knowledge, and Translational Innovations should be carried out through the mere act of thinking, acting, cooperating and building.
