Recently I participated in the 2nd International Symposium. It was a platform for learning new emerging technologies . Dr Intesham and Dr Jawwad from University of London provided informations on Biomaterials like Hydroxyapatite and the ongoing research on its application . What I am impressed is the interdisciplinary interaction between the Surgeons , Material scientists , Chemist , Veteranary scientists to come up with the ideas. Research is something big to hear yet so simple . Everyone has new ideas in his respective fields something that can change the trends and the role of other disciplines and expertise is always beneficial if collabarated. Lets say I am interested in Spine surgery where I do fusion with bone grafting and fixation . I need a substitute to bone that is prepared synthetically which is inert and can provide mechanical stability . So a biomaterial scientist can provide me the synthetic bone made from local material s that is affordable by my patients . Then I have expertise of Veteranary surgeons and veterenary scientist to prove its efficacy in animals . Then I can proceed to study in humans.
So in western countries this is how it works . What about us ?? We dont share the knowledge among academics of different disciplines . Interdisciplinary interaction is negligible .
