Perspectives of Translational Medicine

Abstract

Recently, we had a well-moderated, multidisciplinary discussion on perspectives of translational medicine including experts from both the United States and China through the WeChat group for Translational Perioperative and Pain Medicine (TPPM) hosted by Dr Renyu Liu, the interim Editor-in-Chief of TPPM. This proved to be an effective approach in promoting international academic exchanges and discussions using social media in an organized manner. The discussions are included below with minimal editing to improve clarity.
