Abstract
Historical Biography for Translational Medicine: An Important Genre for Translational Science
Highlights
Biographies are usually written about individuals who have fascinated us because of their accomplishments, opinions, or legacy
Western civilization recognizes the stories of the lives of biblical persons as well Greek and Roman philosophers and leaders, English literature attributes the first English biography to that of Samuel Johnson by James Boswell because of the detailed research which formulated the description of Samuel Johnson and the objectivity with which it was written
Historical biographies relate the biography to concurrent historical events and provide a historical background to the events of the person’s time
Summary
Biographies are usually written about individuals who have fascinated us because of their accomplishments, opinions, or legacy. The recent paper by Barton et al (1) perhaps warrants defining a new genre – historical biography for translational medicine.
