Abstract:
You may imagine a scientist peering into a test tube under a microscope when you think about research. Now, envision what happens when this classic image collides with the world of modern digital technologies like AI, ML, and petabytes (yes, petabytes) of actual data. A new beginning! We are, in fact, shifting from the traditional image of the "scientist in the lab" to that of the "scientist as a pillar of modern healthcare" by using novel and cutting-edge technology as the new "building blocks" of this field. Since the future will bring a rising number of patients, the strain on our healthcare systems will only increase, and the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us the importance of science and research in solving both present and future medical difficulties. For these reasons, next-generation biomedical research must become more efficient and `precise, with an emphasis on disease prevention, smart and early diagnosis, digital health, and personalized medicine (the discovery of the optimal therapy for the right patient at the right time). Doing so requires a `bed-to-bench-to-bed` cycle of close cooperation between patients, physicians, and hospitals. New therapeutic and diagnostic approaches may be developed using patient data and samples and then given back to patients to help with their unmet medical requirements. This is fundamental to the `translational` and `precision` healthcare ethos. You are about to start an exciting new adventure in the dynamic world of biomedical investigation. I want to inspire you to make a difference in the future of "precision health" by pursuing a career in this fascinating field and by pushing the limits of established fields.
