Outline of Current Research
The final purpose of any medical research is to improve quality of life and survival of the patients. For this, the research should follow the chain of scientific discovery as described in Figure 1. My research works are consistent with such a scientific sequence.

What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:

To accelerate the delivery of scientific findings.
