1. Translational Medicine: A need based multi-disciplinary
community approach to ailments - OMICS Group Medical
Conferences
OMICS Group, the World class Open Access Publisher and Scientific Events Organizer is proud to
announce 2nd International Conference on Translational Medicine to be held during August 5-7, 2013 in
Chicago-North Shore, USA. Translational Medicine-2013 will bring together representatives from the
pharma, government and leading academic research institutions. Together they will discuss on
advancement of early stage research to clinical treatments.
Diseases that develop as a result of insufficient feeding cannot be treated merely by administering
medicines alone and it rather demands a multi- disciplinary approach, capable of finding the root cause
of the problem so that the expected solutions can be attained.
Translational medicine is an approach to address the health ailments that arise as a result of certain
poor practices. Malnutrition for example is a result of extreme poverty, lack of safe drinking water,
unhygienic surroundings, and utter lack of awareness on how to tackle it effectively. Several health
ailments like diarrhea, common cold, fever and other communicable diseases may be prevalent among
the children that are affected by malnutrition. There should be a sustainable effort in addressing the
root cause of the problem by providing sufficient income generating opportunities to the communities
so that families can afford to have healthy meal to their children. This should be followed by certain
other efforts like creating awareness on aspects like personal hygiene, necessity to keep their
surroundings clean and tidy so that communities can arrest the spread of diseases. The multi-
dimensional approach to treat diseases using the knowledge gathered from various sources, inclusive of
medicines is called as Translational Medicine.
