Translational and Applied Research serves as a bridge between basic scientific discoveries and their practical application in patient care, public health, and clinical practice. Its core goal is to "translate" findings from the laboratory, preclinical studies, or theoretical models into real-world solutions that improve health outcomes, medical procedures, and healthcare systems.
Applied research, closely related, focuses directly on solving specific clinical or public health problems using scientific methods, often tailored to improve diagnostics, therapies, medical devices, or healthcare delivery models.
