Translating Basic Research into Research for Humans

The "T1" phase of translational research is the first. It involves the transformation of foundational scientific findings into potential approaches for real-world applications in health. This course will focus on the latest innovations in basic science, such as drug discovery, repurposing, and animal studies. These discoveries can lead to new methods for diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and control. The federal government's role in supporting and regulating translational research will be discussed as it progresses from basic science to human interventions.

This is the second of five courses in the "Translational Science Series".
