Abstract: | Translational medicine is a new medical model which focus on overcoming the serious imbalance among the basic research, its clinical and public health application. Its core is to establish effective ties among basic medical researchers, public health workers and doctors who know the needs of patients, particularly translating the molecular medical research results to suitable disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prevention methods effectively. This paper discusses the design and construction of the translational medicine platform for urologic system tumors. However, there is no draw on the precedent, it is a challenging project to create such a complicated platform and make it running smoothly and effectively. Based on the Tianjin Translational Medicine Platform for Urologic Oncology (TTMPUO) which had been established in support of Tianjin Science and Technology Commission, this paper will focus on describing the design ideas and the essential parts of the platform. |
