Medical Research
CMT will conduct extensive research in various domains and fields of medicine and improvise emphasis and encourage and project latest innovative approaches to treatment and management of diseases, coupled with cutting edge technology to improve patient healthcare, propulsion of medical knowledge in an easier understandable way, and overall re-structure the exacting future of medicine and healthcare
Categories of Medical Research
Medical research can be broadly categorized into the following types:
Basic (Biomedical) Research
This involves laboratory studies at the cellular or molecular level. It aims to understand biological processes and mechanisms of diseases. Examples include:
Genetic research
Studies on how cells respond to infections
Investigation of biomarkers for disease
Clinical Research
This type involves human participants and focuses on understanding health and disease directly in patients. It includes:
Clinical trials: Systematic testing of new drugs, devices, or treatment protocols
Observational studies: Monitoring health outcomes without manipulating variables
Translational Research
Often referred to as “bench-to-bedside,” this bridges the gap between basic science and clinical application. It transforms lab discoveries into therapies or diagnostic tools.
Epidemiological Research
This studies disease patterns, causes, and control in populations. It informs public health strategies and policy decisions. Key areas include:
Disease surveillance
Risk factor analysis
Vaccine effectiveness studies
Health Services Research
This investigates how healthcare is delivered, accessed, and financed. It aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health systems.
