Preface
The last dozen years have witnessed an exciting and dramatic transformation in the pace, scope, and scale of medically focused research. The driving forces behind these changes are the elucidation of the sequence of the human genome, the development of powerful molecular-based technologies that generate massive quantities of data, and the creation of robust analytical tools required to analyze these vast data sets. Collectively, these developments have ushered us into the era of translational medicine. Translational medicine—and its corollary translational research—is making huge contributions towards our ability
