Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research history
  • Evolution of medical science

Context:

  • Traces the historical development of biomedical research as a professional specialty.
  • Highlights the progression from magico-religious concepts to scientific methodology in medicine.

Purpose:

  • To delineate the key stages in the Western world's development of biomedical research.
  • To establish a timeline for the emergence of professional biomedical investigators.
  • To contextualize the delayed establishment of professional biomedical research in Mexico.

Summary:

  • Western biomedical research advanced through four distinct phases: primitive, Hippocratic, scientific, and the establishment of full-time investigators.
  • Claude Bernard, the first full-time biomedical investigator, was appointed in France in 1813.
  • Mexico saw its first full-time biomedical investigator in 1939, with continued growth despite challenges.

Impact:

  • Provides a historical framework for understanding the professionalization of biomedical research.
  • Underscores the significant lag in the establishment of professional biomedical research in Mexico compared to the West.
  • Identifies ongoing challenges to investigator growth and development in Mexico's biomedical sector.
