Mind-boggling and ever-expanding range of topics run the gamut from basic and clinical to translational research.

Basic research provides a fundamental understanding of molecules and mechanisms that, without offering any apparent practical avenue for patient treatment, involves identifying cellular processes and genetic mutations and revealing breakdowns in cellular communication associated with all manner of diseases and disorders–marfan syndrome, for instance.

Clinical research–such as testing a hypertension medicine in mice genetically engineered to have marfan syndrome, for instance–applies itself directly to improving the human condition.

Translational research–often described as 'bench-to-bedside' studies–accelerates the discovery of new treatments directed at the basic mechanisms of disorder and disease and hastens the time when effective treatments become a reality.

Marfan syndrome is just one excellent example of how finding the genes responsible for a disease, and discovering what regulates them, can lead to ions, affective disorders, alzheimer's, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, brain injury, brain stimulation, child and adolescent, eating disorders, geriatric psychiatry,  huntington's, neurobiology, parkinson's and memory disorders ment of psychiatry and behavioral y and asthma on of allergy & clinical robert packard center for als research at johns esiology ment of anesthesiology and critical care hmia , cardiomyopathy, heart failure, preventative cardiology and vascular topics hanics research, gait and mobility disorders, swallowing dysfunction ment of physical medicine and tumor, ms, pediatric neurosurgery and transverse myelitis research.

Our researchers work, too, on ways of preventing ill health, and ways of more effectively delivering care to patients.

We will continue our work to ensure that the evidence generated by research informs and influences clinical practice and health year’s ten of the best highlights how important research and research translation are to improved health outcomes.

As you will see in this edition, health and medical research is rarely the result of one individual’s effort.

We are moving to develop new ways for researchers, health educators and patients to work together to benefit from research evidence.

We are building alliances in our region, including china and singapore to improve health for all behalf of the nhmrc, i thank all researchers who have contributed to these efforts to assist in improving health through evidence in the 2009-12 triennium.

Selecting just ten of the many hundred reports is not an easy task considering the wealth of talented researchers supported by nhmrc.

I congratulate the researchers profiled in ten of the best 2012 for their work, passion and achievements.
