The
second edition of this innovative work again provides a unique
perspective on the clinical discovery process by providing input from
experts within the NIH on the principles and practice of clinical
research. Molecular medicine, genomics, and proteomics have opened vast
opportunities for translation of basic science observations to the
bedside through clinical research. As an introductory reference it gives
clinical investigators in all fields an awareness of the tools required
to ensure research protocols are well designed and comply with the
rigorous regulatory requirements necessary to maximize the safety of
research subjects. Complete with sections on the history of clinical
research and ethics, copious figures and charts, and sample documents it
serves as an excellent companion text for any course on clinical
research and as a must-have reference for seasoned researchers.
