Talk:Translational medicine

message: There are apparently some legitimate academic programs out there, and the term seems to have mainstream support in the UK. But here in the Americas I've seen some very serious quackery passed off under the rubric of 'translational medicine.' It's almost a red flag, in fact... Should the article reflect this mixed usage? — Sandover 17:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  translational vs. applied research? 

message: It would be useful to know how long this approach to medicine has been current and whether it has opponents as well as supporters.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 03:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The definitions outlined do not capture the clinical need.

2) Dose selection in early clinical trials

thread_title:  The most important area of modern drug discovery 

message: Regarding translational medicine as some special subject within interventional epidemiology is rather nonsensical. This article needs to be completely re-written by an expert in the field to bring it up to standard. Translational medicine is much, much more than what is described here. (And in some senses less: I fail to see what "political sciences" have to do with this...) --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:57, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: When you come across a really duff article, it is often best to just scrub it and start afresh. Personally, I would far prefer an accurate and sane stub or start class article to some of the horrific essays and cobbled together crud that pass for C (or even "old" B) articles. However, I know next to zilch about this subject, so I cannot help you. Please see: WP:BOLD. --Mais oui! (talk) 11:21, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Epidemiology?? 

message: The current intro to this article (which is virtually the same as that in two other articles - translational research & translational science) is not helpful. I found a better one on Google which is attributed to Wikipedia, but it must have been an earlier edit(?): Translational medicine (also referred to as translational science) is a discipline within biomedical and public health research that aims to improve the health of individuals and the community by ``translating findings into diagnostic tools, medicines, procedures, policies and education.''
Also it seems like the 3 articles on "translational <x>" are similar enough that they should be candidates for a merger under one or another of the terms.--A12n (talk) 14:27, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this article should be merged into Translational research, which already covers more of the same ground and has been classified C-class.  The best title of these three?  Surely it must be "translational medicine", since that at least gives the layperson a clue that we're talking about medicine — helping treat disease.  So what's the next step?  I've never proposed a merge before this.  yoyo (talk) 07:06, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  A better intro & merging 3 articles? 

message: I would like to add that the ultimate purpose of Translational Medicine is to improve human health via the "bench to bedside" approach. According to the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, "translational medicine bridges across the discovery, development, regulation, and utilization spectirum."https://www.ascpt.org/Resources/Knowledge-Center/What-is-Translational-Medicine 
I would also like to point to this article as a reference for the definition of Clinical and Translational Medicine: Wang X. A new vision of definition, commentary, and understanding in clinical and translational medicine. Clinical and Translational Medicine 2012;1:5   
Please let me know if it is okay to make these additionsClinPharmMMH (talk) 18:30, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarify definition

message: I forgot the summary of my edit. I changed the url of the first source, as the doi link gives an error. The article is available under a paid access on Science Direct. — Nalou (talk) 12:24, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
