Rina, Are you asking that we create a new discussion group for Clinical Research?

Yes, I wanted to know if people are interested in a new discussion group for Clinical Research

Rina,
Yes I am interested in this typr of discussion so please create a new group

i feel clinical trials are needed for a few more years till the most deadly of diseases are conquored. I myself am working on a drug at present and finding a cure for Parkinson's disease. It needs a lot of trial and testing before it can reach the drug stage in a pharmacy... Its illegal to test on human beings and the only other way is animals like albino mice... Till AIDS is wiped out, I think we need to continue with these clinical trials... I'm working on that too right now... When you think about it, Without clinical trials you could never use a drug... We say, "if it worked on that guy it should work on me" this is how everything works... If we just prepare a drug and offer it to someone, he will blindly say no... Its a fact! As far as the question "how many" is concerned, I would like to say that its a wide world and there are some scientists built for each field of science... If all scientists were clinical researchers for example, there would be no physicists or chemists, etc. But it is sure that it is a sought after field...

And yes.... I would be happy if you will open a discussion group for clinical research...

The paradocs of clinical research actually is that “If the drug works for somebody else, it does not necessary work for me”. Variable therapeutic responses in multiple Clinical Trials showed unrecognized disease heterogeneity and actually contributed to the development of a new area of pharmacological research- pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics. “Just as genomics is the study of the entire genome while genetics is the study of individual genes, pharmacogenomics looks at inheritable response to drugs over the entire genome while pharmacogenetics identifies interactions between drugs and individual genes”.
