The Chasm between Biomedical Research and Medical Practice

The diagnostic use of molecular analysis is poised to revolutionize medicine but not without some growing pains. The rapid advances in the last quarter century have enabled massive analyses of tens of thousands of genes, proteins, and other biological molecules in a single experiment, all of which have produced enormous reservoirs of data.  There is so much data that it is a major problem now to make sense of it all.  While these advances in biomedicine have produced amazing insights into health-related disorders and disease progression, applying these ongoing discoveries in clinical settings remains a challenge....Read Full Post
