tailieunhanh - Large-Scale Biomedical Science: Exploring Strategies for Future Research

Historically, most cancer research has been conducted through small independent projects initiated by individual investigators with relatively small research groups. Such research is driven by focused hypotheses addressing specific biological questions. There will always be a need for this traditional approach to research; in recent years, however, it has also become more feasible to undertake projects on a broader and larger scale, thereby developing extensive pools of data and research tools that can facilitate those more conventional efforts | http catalog .html LARGE-SCALE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE EXPLORING STRATEGIES FOR FUTURE RESEARCH Committee on Large-Scale Science and Cancer Research Sharyl J.
