Three categories of research in Chinese Medicine. In the long term, we hope to establish a research platform on Chinese Medicines by interdisciplinary technologies and concepts in molecular medicine, omics, informatics, nanotechnology, systems biology, integrative medicine, individual medicine, translational medicine, evidence-based medicine, and so forth. We propose a research pyramid platform by the following three categories: (a) research on new drug discovery from Chinese Medicines, (b) research on evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine from Chinese Medicine, and (c) research on the science and art of Chinese Medicine and other therapeutic formalities in Chinese Medicine practice.
