Semester: Spring
Offered: 2022
Course Description
Translational research has many definitions. Broadly, it is considered any investigation that can lead to clinical impact. In this course, we will use bench to bedside vignettes as a backdrop for interactive discussions. We will emphasize cancer dependency, targeted therapy, and resistance mechanisms to help facilitate problem-solving discussions. In particular, we will walk through the discovery of BCR-ABL inhibitors for chronic myelogenous leukemia and next generation anti-androgens for prostate cancer. The course will include group discussions and assignments designed to reinforce the key concepts from each session.
Course Objectives
Recognize the translational impact of thoughtful and rigorous basic science research
Describe examples of successful translational research and conceptual advances that led to biomedical breakthroughs
Analyze problem-solving in translational research
Connect translational research with your own project
