Medical Research

Information on medical research can be found under this Yellow Pages® heading. Medical research is the basic research or applied research conducted in aiding the body of knowledge in the medical field. Moreover, two categories comprise medical research: the evaluation of new treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials and all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The category that contributes to the development of new treatments is termed pre-clinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies. Yellow Pages® helps you search for medical research.

The advent of medical research has given rise to contract research organisation (CRO) and data management organisation (DMO) to meet the demands for the increasing number of clinical trials. Thus provision of contract research services for local and international clinical trials have surfaced. Services of these organisations include clinical study management, monitoring, data management, statistical analysis and report writing, training, pharmacovigilance, auditing and supplying contract staff to assist clients—international pharmaceutical companies, local and overseas biotechnology companies, alternative therapy companies, device and diagnostic companies, private and hospital based investigators, non profit government and university trials groups, doctors networks, site management organisations (SMOs). Meanwhile, there are also multi-disciplinary organisations that are responsible for tackling certain diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease through research, education, and patient care.

Genetic research is a part of children’s medical research where fundamental genetic research is conducted to better understand the genes that are important for health and development, and the underlying causes of disease—chronic disease or congenital abnormality such as cystic fibrosis, cleft palate, muscular dystrophy, and epilepsy and disease that mainly affect adults such as cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative brain disorders.
