An institutional history of TIMI
Saloni Dattani: Last week I thought, “I’d love to read more about Australia’s clinical trial system and how it compares with the United States!”, since Australia is known for having a much faster process for starting early stage clinical trials. But then, on Friday, Ruxandra Teslo and Adam Kroetsch published a report for IFP on exactly that topic, which was great, and I thought “Wow, that was fast!” So now I’ll suggest that I’d like to read about the institutional history of TIMI, the academic research organization that has coordinated more than 80 trials to test treatments for heart attacks across 50 countries, and has massively influenced cardiovascular medicine globally. A whole book-length treatment would be the dream, but I’d also be satisfied with a detailed report or book chapter. Hopefully that will be published next week too.
