Strategic thinking of medical research in the era of big data-based medicine and intelligent medicine / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

The primary impetus for the development of medicine is invariably the scientific research, no matter it is in the era of evidence-based medicine, translational medicine, precision medicine, intelligent medicine, or big data-based medicine. The basic medical research unravels the nature of life and the clinical research addresses the health issues in humans. It is necessary to establish a kind of close relationship between basic researchers and clinical investigators under an organized framework, thus to open a new medical research dimension with innovative ideas and consecutive breakthroughs.
