INTRODUCTION

In recent years, there has been an extraordinary surge in global advances in basic and clinical research, driven by a multidisciplinary perspective that integrates various scientific disciplines and medical specialties (Afshin A et al., 2017). This approach recognizes that complex questions in healthcare and disease require diverse expertise, collaboration, and a holistic understanding of biological systems (Burki T et al., 2021). The journal "Global Advances in Basic and Clinical Research: A Multidisciplinary Perspective" aims to showcase and disseminate the latest findings and breakthroughs resulting from this collaborative and multidimensional approach. Basic research forms the foundation of scientific inquiry, aiming to unravel the fundamental mechanisms underlying diseases and human biology. It encompasses studies conducted at the cellular, molecular, and genetic levels, shedding light on the intricacies of biological processes, pathways, and interactions (Soltani G et al., 2019). The integration of basic research findings with clinical investigations bridges the gap between bench and bedside, fostering translational research that leads to improved diagnostics, treatments, and preventive strategies (Hales CM et al., 2017). Clinical research focuses on the application of scientific knowledge and methodologies to understand disease etiology, progression, and response to interventions in human subjects. It encompasses a wide range of studies, including observational studies, clinical trials, epidemiological research, and health services research (Pan XF et al., 2021). By engaging patients, clinicians, and researchers, clinical research generates evidence that informs clinical practice, shapes healthcare policies, and ultimately improves patient outcomes (Guo Y et al., 2019). A key aspect of the multidisciplinary perspective is the recognition that no single discipline or specialty can fully address the complexities of human health and disease. The integration of diverse fields such as molecular biology, genetics, pharmacology, epidemiology, bioinformatics, engineering, and social sciences enriches our understanding and enables comprehensive approaches to address healthcare challenges (Damsgaard CT et al., 2016). This integration allows researchers to explore novel avenues, discover new biomarkers, develop innovative therapeutic interventions, and enhance disease prevention strategies. The global nature of this journal emphasizes the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing across borders. Health challenges vary across different regions, and a multidisciplinary approach acknowledges the need for context-specific research and interventions (Bessesen DH et al., 2018). By including studies from diverse geographic locations, this journal aims to promote a global perspective and stimulate discussions on global health issues. This can drive policy changes, promote the dissemination of best practices, and enhance the equitable access to healthcare interventions worldwide. Moreover, the advent of cuttingedge technologies, such as high-throughput sequencing, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and precision medicine, has revolutionized the field of basic and clinical research (Velazquez A et al., 2018). These technologies generate vast amounts of data and enable advanced analyses, providing researchers with unprecedented insights into disease mechanisms, personalized treatment strategies, and population health trends. The multidisciplinary perspective of this journal embraces these technological advancements and encourages their integration into research methodologies and clinical practice. In summary, "Global Advances in Basic and Clinical Research: A Multidisciplinary Perspective" represents a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share their findings, innovations, and experiences in advancing human health (Cefalu WT et al., 2015). By fostering collaboration, multidimensional approaches, and global perspectives, this journal strives to accelerate discoveries, improve patient outcomes, and contribute to the development of evidencebased healthcare practices worldwide.
