Interdisciplinary approach to biomedical research: a panacea to efficient research output during the global pandemic

Biomedical research is rapidly growing due to inventions and developments in science and technology. Several interdisciplinary fields should be combined to find the remedy of diseases including pandemics. To accomplish this, interdisciplinary research is a prerequisite. Using improved techniques in microscopy and genetic engineering, the systemic perspective of the human body and related diseases can be found. Recent genetic-based inheritance studies of diseases, understanding various omics, stem cell systems, and gene editing tools including CRISPR relevant to biomedical research require multidisciplinary approach. Improvements in the field of bioinformatics and efficient use of model organisms in clinical testing including drug assessment are important disciplines common in different researches. The merging of different closely related areas of medical research will produce suitable changes in diagnosis and treatment. In the present scenario of increased global pandemic hits like COVID-19, an understanding on the interdisciplinary approach is needed for controlling the spread and finding vaccines.
