Abstract

Traditionally, according to international
standards, research in general and implicitly
medical research is divided into two
categories: basic and applied. Basic medical
research is focused on better or fuller
understanding of both normal cellular and
molecular mechanisms as well as those of
different diseases, the findings not being
always developed into useful clinical applications.
Applied research is directed towards
a specific aim and/or solving a problem,
such as new therapies and/or diagnostic
methods, etc.
