Translational Pulmonology is an instructional guide to translational medical research serves as a practical, step-by-step roadmap for taking a biomedical device, potential therapeutic agent, or research question from idea through demonstrated clinical benefit. Fundamentally, the volume aims to help bridge the gap between current research and practice. Written by a team of expert medical, biomedical engineering, and clinical research experts in pulmonary diseases, this volume provides a clear process for understanding, designing, executing, and analyzing clinical and translational research within the field.
- Focusing on translational pulmonary diseases research, this volume covers the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations
- Provides a practical, straightforward approach that will help the aspiring pulmonary researchers and pulmonologists navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation
- Details valuable discussions of the critical appraisal of published studies in pulmonary, allowing the reader to learn how to evaluate the quality of such studies with respect to measuring outcomes and to make effective use of all types of evidence in patient care
Clinicians, pulmonologists, pulmonary and respiratory researchers, basic scientists interested in translating their research into clinical practice
