Biomedicine is a branch of medical science that applies biological and other natural-science principles to clinical practice,*. Biomedicine, i.e. medical research, involves the study of (patho-)physiological processes with methods from biology, chemistry and physics. Approaches range from understanding molecular interactions to the study of the consequences at the in vivo level. These processes are studied with the particular point of view of devising new strategies for diagnosis and therapy.**
