Science Connect: The Translational Approach

We need this if we ever expect to get stroke research put into stroke protocols than can help us recover. But don't expect anything from our stroke associations, this will just sit on their asses like usual.

Translational research is a paradigm for research designed to enable innovative thinking by leveraging the benefits of collaboration. First emerging in the mid-1990s in reference to cancer studies spanning basic science, over the past two decades the definition has broadened and evolved. When most think of translational research, they default to a bench-to-bedside concept, but ideas about interaction and collaboration generated by early clinical translational models have grown to include a broad spectrum of new ideas that have influenced lab design, research methods, implementation and scientific education. The tenets of translational research can be, and have been, applied to many fields of research beyond the original bench research to clinical research connections, including engineering technologies, community, education and more.
