Basic science research, where scientists are trying to understand something new or just how something works in nature or physiology, is interesting and much of the time done out of curiosity. However, clinical trial research, especially when there is a profitable product involved like a pharmaceutical, has been corrupted by industry. It feels like most clinical trials are done to be used as a marketing tool. In order to promote a product, the trial has to make the product look good. This is why

Basic science research matters. When patients face the unknown, basic science helps turn questions into answers—and opens the door to new treatments. That’s why we’re committed to advancing research that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in medicine. #Science #ScientificResearch #Biology #SXSW2025 | Biohub
