This volume will be a collection of chapters from authors with wide
experience in their research field. The purpose is to produce a
coherent book that reflects the common theme of theory in medical
thinking and multidisciplinary research practice. In this context
"theory" relates to frameworks of concepts, facts, models etc that
help to inform practitioners (clinicians, scientists and engineers)
both within their own fields and as they seek to share dialogue
with colleagues from other fields.
The book will therefore be integrative across a broad spectrum of
fields within medicine. To achieve this the chapters will be
associated with others in a number of meaningful ways. Each chapter
will share a number of points of contact that will include at least
two of the following:
*similar biomedical area (e.g., immunity, neuroscience,
endocrinology, pathology, oncology, haematology, ...)
*similar multidisciplinary theoretical contexts (e.g., modelling,
analysis, description, visualization, complex systems, ...)
*similar multidisciplinary medical issues and questions (e.g.,
clinical practice, decision making, informatics, ...)
-Uniquely explores role of interdisciplinary exchange in the
development and expansion of medical theory
-Timely and insightful essays on the growth and development of
medical theories from some of the world's top clinicians and
medical researchers, including Werner Arber, Frank Vertosick, and
David Weatherall
-Assembles diverse perspectives on medicine and physiology from
biology, statistics, ethics, computer science, philosophy,
history
-Uniquely illuminates the social and historical processes through
which theoretical research translates intoclinical practice
-Reveals the growing role of technology, especially computational
modelling, in changing the nature of Western medicine
