29
Q

What is translational research?

A

Multi-disciplinary research designed to speed up translation of most promising lab discoveries to patient (bench to bedside), or from patient to changing practise (bedside to community)

30
Q

What is the purpose of translational research?

A

Expediate discovery of new treatments and diagnostic tools for testing in a clinical setting to on humans

31
Q

Key considerations from bench to bedside:

A
  1. primary outcome 2. Provide evidence for a mechanism of action, conformation on drug target, efficacy… 3. close interaction between scientists and clinicians
32
Q

What does the protocol for translational research need to clearly state?

A

clearly define what would be considered as lack of effect and the next experimental step for any possible outcomes

33
Q

What is good about translational research?
