In recent years, the rapid progress in basic research and the need for a personalized approach to disease management have led to the emergence of translational research. Translational research aims to convert findings from basic science into human well-being and represents an opportunity to improve the future of individualized healthcare, holding much promise for disease treatment and prevention.
For this reason, the neurologist of the future must be ready to manage patients being guided by the biological profile and the clinical one. This is especially true in neuroimmunology, where a growing body of studies has provided several novel potential disease biomarkers to improve diseases treatment and prevention.
There is still a significant information gap between basic research findings and their finalized integration into patient management. Therefore, some changes are necessary to enhance the interaction between basic neuroscientists and clinical neurologists to strengthen clinicians’ basic scientific knowledge. In this regard, residency programs should favor closer communication between resident clinicians and basic neuroscientists. Educational programs for clinical neurologists need to be implemented to satisfy this need.
This research topic aims to contribute to overcoming the gap between basic neuroscience and clinical neurology by collecting the following type of articles:
• review articles that discuss how the progresses in basic science has impacted and will impact the clinical practice.
• original articles that explore biological/immunological markers of disease phenotype, prognosis, and therapeutic response.
• original articles that explore attitudes, awareness, opinions, and experiences of neurologists toward basic science educational programs.
• original articles that explore the organization of residency programs and how they could implement to satisfy this need.
