Irving Innerfield
Irving Innerfield (died 4 December 1976) was a medical researcher in the United States of America. A specialist in inflammation, he discovered that the enzyme trypsin could be used to dissolve blood clots. In November 1952, on hearing that Elizabeth Kenny (the Australian who developed physical therapy as a treatment for Poliomyelitis, polio and established many clinics for polio victims in the USA using her methods) was dying in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia from a cerebral thrombosis, Innerfield dispatched his experimental drug based on trypsin by air to Brisbane to treat her thrombosis. Unfortunately Kenny was close to death when the drug arrived and was administered, dying the following day. References {{DEFAULTSORT:Innerfield, Irving American medical researchers 1976 deaths ...

Medical Research
Medical research (or biomedical research), also known as experimental medicine, encompasses a wide array of research, extending from " basic research" (also called ''bench science'' or ''bench research''), – involving fundamental scientific principles that may apply to a ''preclinical'' understanding – to clinical research, which involves studies of people who may be subjects in clinical trials. Within this spectrum is applied research, or translational research, conducted to expand knowledge in the field of medicine. Both clinical and preclinical research phases exist in the pharmaceutical industry's drug development pipelines, where the clinical phase is denoted by the term ''clinical trial''. However, only part of the clinical or preclinical research is oriented towards a specific pharmaceutical purpose. The need for fundamental and mechanism-based understanding, diagnostics, medical devices, and non-pharmaceutical therapies means that pharmaceutical research ...
