Clinical practice in the new era - A fusion of molecular biology and classical medicine is transforming the way we look at and treat diseases

摘要

... As genetics develops in the new millennium it will be important to remember that computer modelling or other sophisticated approaches to unravelling biological complexity can never replace the study of these remarkable "experiments of nature". It is vital, therefore, that the field evolves as a closely integrated partnership between the clinical and basic biological sciences; they will continue to have much to offer each other.' Sir David J. Weatherall, 1999.
