Abstract: Simultaneous to the rapid development of life sciences, translational medical sciences have a new significance within recent years. Translational medical science aims to eliminate the barriers between clinical, pharmaceutical drug breakthroughs and basic research, to shorten the interval from bench to bed side, and to facilitate rapid patient benefits from medical sciences. Translational medical science concurrently agrees with modern 21st century research trends, as well as emphasizing upon Chinese goals of health and sanitation (hygiene science), preventing and treating disease to preserve and improve health standards and quality of life. Following a long-term self study model of integrating basic with clinic research since 1921, Peking Union Medical College Hospital in collaboration with various basic medical science institutions recently explored a pilot study of translational medical science in China today.
