Dramatic advances in biotechnology are revolutionizing medical science. Recent discoveries in molecular biology, genomics, cellular and tissue engineering, new drug discovery techniques, and bioimaging hold the promise of improving medical care by enhancing diagnostic capabilities and substantially expanding therapeutic options. Over the past decade, the pace of biotechnological research has markedly accelerated, while the scope of and expenditures for the biotechnology research enterprise have increased substantially.1-2 For example, in 2001, US biotechnology companies involved with human health-related applications spent more than $15 billion on research and development.2
To increase the awareness of physicians, other health care professionals, and clinical researchers about cutting-edge advances and promising recent discoveries in this dynamic and rapidly evolving research area, JAMA will publish a theme issue devoted to medical applications of biotechnology in early 2005.
We invite authors to submit manuscripts on any topic in biotechnology . . . [Full Text of this Article]
