Translating Basic Research into Human Research

The first phase of translational research — known as “T1” — is the process of moving foundational scientific discoveries into possible approaches for real-world health applications. This course focuses on innovations in basic science discovery, including drug discovery and repurposing and animal studies, that lead to new methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in highly controlled settings. You’ll also discuss the role of the federal government to support and regulate translational resea

• Identify differences between basic and clinical research
• Understand innovations leading to new diagnostic and treatment methods
• Explore career paths for basic science researchers
