Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr. Bakal is the Program Director for Provincial Research Data Services at Alberta Health Services, which operates the Alberta Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (SPOR) data platform. He also leads the Health Service Statistical and Analytics Methods teams. Over 10 years, he has worked with health services data, including randomized clinical trials. He completed his PhD jointly through the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the School of Physical Health and Education at Queen’s University. His work includes methodological contributions and analyses supporting international studies spanning business strategy, ophthalmology, cardiology, and geriatric medicine, as well as analyses of kinematic data, through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Current interests include developing statistical methodology for time-to-event data and building classification tools to support patient decision-making processes.

C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. is an interventional cardiologist, cardiovascular researcher and educator who pioneered our understanding of the "open artery hypothesis" as well our understanding of the importance of restoring flow downstream in the capillary bed in the "open microvasculature hypothesis" in heart attack. Gibson has been a leading investigator in trials of thrombolytic agents, glycoprotein 2b3a inhibitor agents, thienopyridines, factor Xa inhibitors, lipid lowering agents and new devices. Gibson was named one of the world's most widely published and cited scientists of past decade in 2014 by Thomson Reuters.

For years, Gibson has been chosen as one of Boston's Top Doctors & U.S. News & World Report also lists Gibson as one of America's top doctors. He has held numerous leadership positions in medicine including positions as a Coronary Care Unit Director, a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Director, a Chief of Cardiology and as a Vice Chairman of Medicine.

Dr Adam E. M. Eltorai, MD, PhD completed his graduate studies in Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology along with his medical degree from Brown University. His work has spanned the translational spectrum with a focus on medical technology innovation and development. Dr. Eltorai has published numerous articles and books.

Translational research is essential to the advancement of medicine. This Cardiology-specific instructional guide to translational medical research serves as a practical, step-by-step roadmap for taking a biomedical device, potential therapeutic agent, or research question from idea through demonstrated clinical benefit. Fundamentally, the volume aims to help bridge the gap between current research and practice. Written by a team of expert medical, biomedical engineering, and clinical research experts in Cardiology, this volume provides a clear process for understanding, designing, executing, and analyzing clinical and translational research
