This course will establish an understanding of the processes involved in developing a basic science finding through to clinical trials. The course modules offer the basic foundations of discipline-specific laboratory research questions and how these can be applied to broader clinical applications. The main focus of the Graduate Certificate in Translational Research is for the student to establish an appreciation that fundamental scientific questions may have multidisciplinary clinical answers. Start of expanded content Other core learning outcomes are through understanding how scientific concepts can be marketed and communicated effectively through research pipeline procedures and the responsibilities of the researcher that may be derived from this.
