How do discoveries get to the clinic door?
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF RESEARCH: BASIC, TRANSLATIONAL, AND CLINICAL.
BASIC RESEARCH is sometimes referred to as “basic science” or "fundamental research.” It attempts to provide answers to the mysteries of modern medicine, with the goal of better understanding a particular concept.
TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH takes some knowledge of a particular biological phenomenon—that the basic scientists discovered—and translates it into something that might eventually be used in a clinical setting.
CLINICAL RESEARCH is the last step in which we validate a new drug or therapy in real people, looking at effectiveness and safety and often comparing it to other gold standards for treatment.
