Basic Science Research |
Basic science research is the scientific study designed to gain a fundamental understanding of the subject under investigation. Basic science strives to answer questions about changes in:
- the anatomy (structure of the body),
- the physiology (the functions and activities of cells in the bodies many systems) and
- the cells, molecules, and genes within the different systems.
Another function of basic science research is to develop and test the effectiveness of potential treatments or devices. This is usually carried out in non-human models or via computer programming. Once compelling basic science evidence is obtained, researchers then strive to move the findings into clinical studies in humans.
CMMC has assembled a research team with a broad spectrum of basic science expertise. This team works together to learn more about the body’s response to various disease processes and to develop strategies to promote development and advancement of evidence based medicine.
