La recherche a posé le fondement de l'élaboration de nouveaux médicaments qui ont des effets considérables sur la pratique de la médecine, en plus d'être à la base d'une variété de technologies médicales modernes allant des technologies de scintigraphie haut de gamme aux interventions chirurgicales, tel le pontage aorto-coronarien, qui étaient auparavant des interventions très difficiles, mais qui sont maintenant chose courante.
Research has laid the foundation for the development not only of new medications and drugs that have dramatic effects on the practice of medicine, but for the development of a variety of modern medical technologies ranging from sophisticated scanning technologies to surgical procedures such as a coronary artery bypass, which were at one time very difficult things to do but are now commonplace.
