Importance of Basic Microbiology Research
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In an era of translational science, proper communication of proposed research significance with respect to human health is one of the prerequisites of successful academic scientific research. Conveying the translational implications of research is essential for scientific publications and for obtaining financial support, both of which are necessary for research progress. Although the reasons for current emphasis on translational “applied science” research is understandable from a political and public standpoint in light of slow progress in developing cures for diseases like cancer and AIDS but it should certainly not be at the expense of “basic science” research.
