“Biomedical science is an interwoven web of different disciplinary threads that connect different fields and require that we have access to information in disciplines that are far outside our area of expertise.”

Michael CaplanEditor-in-Chief for Reference Module in Biomedical SciencesYale University School of Medicine, USA

“The module covers the complete spectrum of biology and biomedical aspects integrated in a very well organized fashion. As scientists we rely on correctness and something being up-to-date and so the module is important because it provides this level of knowledge”
