Gastrointestinal Translational Medicine and Therapeutics

The European Society for Translational Medicine (EUSTM) defines translational medicine (TM) as "an interdisciplinary branch of the biomedical field supported by three main pillars: benchside, bedside, and community." Translational medicine (TM) is often referred to as translational science. The purpose of TM is to improve prevention, diagnostics, and therapies by combining disciplines, resources, skills, and techniques within these pillars. As a result, translational medicine is a highly interdisciplinary field whose main purpose is to bring together assets of various kinds inside distinct pillars in order to significantly improve the global healthcare system.
