Course Description This MSTP MS1 requirement will consist of a series of seminars on the broad topic of Translational Research. The seminars are designed to review different specific areas of Translational Research related to research approaches in Academic Medicine. Different invited speakers will present their particular scientific research and experiences. Furthermore, the speaker will attempt to highlight their milestones along the developmental pathway, including their own contributions, but focus on the overall development of the field over a significant period of time. An appreciation for the key elements that determine success in translating basic biomedical understanding into medical practice, include a combination of science, financial, and often political issues, that are often only clearly apparent in hind sight. By understanding the specifics of a number of different actual cases of successful completion of translational projects, students will become more aware of the issues in translational research in Academic Medicine and beyond the specific scientific facts.
