Basic curiosity-driven biomedical science has delivered many of
today's most significant medical advances. This book provides
clearly explained examples from recent biomedical history and
includes convincing arguments for sustaining a robust portfolio of
basic research. Intended as an engaging read, which will delight
undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scientific
researchers, it is full-throated advocacy of basic science.
Illustrations and examples include the discoveries of penicillin
and insulin, and the breakthrough elucidation of the genetic code.
Providing both compelling rationale in support of basic science,
and a fascinating look through the history of modern biomedical
research, this book highlights with stirring examples why basic
biomedical research is so important, and how so many key advances
in medicine are derived from basic research. The book also offers a
rationale for scientific inquiry and a broader understanding of the
history of modern biomedical research missing from today's
classrooms. Key Features 1) Provides clear explanations of great
scientific discoveries 2) Illustrates connections between basic
research findings and modern medicine 3) Includes compelling
graphics/diagrams/illustrations 4) Accessible to the general public
