As progress in the biomedical sciences leads to breakthroughs in biotechnology, biotechnology is, in turn, fueling progress in the biomedical sciences. Biotechnological advances in instruments capable of measuring molecular components within cells at a genome-wide level, as well as the infusion of ideas from physics and mathematics for data analysis and advances from computer science for data-sharing, storage, search and visualization, are all expected to collectively lead to a surge in biomedical breakthroughs in translational research in the near future.
