Translational Medicine: Tools and Techniques
A practical, accessible reference for the interdisciplinary field of translational medicine — mapping a consistent route from laboratory bench to patient bedside, edited by Prof. Dr. Aamir Shahzad and published by Academic Press, an Elsevier imprint.
What Makes This Book Essential
Consistent Methods & Tools
Sets out the core methods and tools of translational medicine in a clear, consistent way — giving readers a dependable reference for day-to-day practice.
Grounded in Real Industry Cases
Grounds the theory in practice through concrete examples from organisations that have applied translational approaches in real settings.
Smarter Use of Resources & Budgets
Shows how the right tools and techniques can strengthen infrastructure and capability while keeping costs down and making the best use of available resources.
Prof. Dr. Aamir Shahzad
A leading voice in translational medicine, Prof. Dr. Aamir Shahzad has played a central role in shaping the field's foundations — as corresponding author of the EUSTM position article that set out the consensus definition of translational medicine around its three pillars of benchside, bedside, and community, and as founder and president of EUSTM, standardising practice, advancing education and certification, and building international collaboration between research, industry, and clinical communities. This guide brings that same integrative perspective to a practical, accessible reference for the field.
- Founder & President of EUSTM
- Corresponding author of the EUSTM consensus TM definition
- Advocate for global standardisation of TM practice
