Clinical & Translational Research

Clinical research enables medical professionals to begin testing new ways to prevent or treat disease, most often in clinical trials involving two or more groups of people who are used to compare the effectiveness of a new treatment with standard treatment.

Translational research is conducted by basic and clinical researchers working together in multidisciplinary teams to solve problems relating to patient care. This research involves translating basic science to clinical applications.
