#  Applying the Concepts from Translational Discoveries 

 



 **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
