Scientists and healthcare professionals from all disciplines working towards improving health outcomes are invited to the international event "Translational Research: Bridging Gaps, Improving Lives" on 4th October to celebrate the opening of the new VU MF Center for Medical Research. 🏢Despite the growing number of advances in many scientific fields, only a small fraction of these discoveries eventually translate into clinical practice and improved health. The "translation" of scientific knowledge from the laboratory (bench) to patient's bedside is a complex journey, requiring close collaboration between fundamental biomedical sciences and clinician researchers.
Translational research offers an opportunity to bridge the 'valleys of death' between basic and clinical science and to bridge the gap between scientists and healthcare professionals in different fields.
This first event dedicated to translational research will feature keynote lectures by researchers, educators, and leaders from the world's leading translational research institutions: DUKE-National University of Singapore, University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), the Netherlands, University of Pennsylvania, USA, San Raffaele Telethon Institute For Gene Therapy, Italy, Central Institute for Experimental Medicine and Life Science (CIEM), Japan.
