Topic: 46
Abstract:
The past fifty years have witnessed great advances in medicine and health care. Some examples include greatly improved prevention of cardiovascular and other diseases, high-resolution imaging technologies for early detection of disease and effective novel drugs. All these great improvements were due to scientific research and development, both in the academia and in the industry. I shall discuss the contribution of two types of research, basic and applied investigation, to progress in medical treatment. I shall describe some examples leading to the conclusion that important innovations in health-related industries are always based on great discoveries in basic biomedical sciences.
