Course details

More about this course
  • Translational medicine, also known as translational science or translational research, is a new, growing discipline in medicine that aims to ensure research flows from 'benchside' to 'bedside'.
  • This means translating medical research findings into clinical treatment options, drug development and diagnostic tools, as well as bringing clinical difficulties back to the research bench for further development.
  • You will examine the steps from benchside (research) to bedside (clinical) - starting with identifying a disease and following on through drug development and preclinical trials.
