Translational and Personalized Medicine

Translational medicine is an apace growing discipline in biomedical informatics research and directs to expedite the discovery of new diagnostic tools and treatments by using a multidisciplinary, highly synergetic; "bench-to-bedside" approach. In public health research, translational medicine is focused on ensuring that proven strategies for disease treatment and prevention are actually executed within the community. One usual description of translational medicine, first established by the Clinical Research Roundtable, highlights two roadblocks i.e., prominent areas in need to be improvised: First Translational block (T1) prevents basic research findings from being tested in a clinical setting; the second Translational block (T2) prevents proven interventions from becoming standard practice.
