Lecture Series "From Bench to Bedside and Back - Understanding Translation"

"From Bench to Bedside and Back - Understanding Translation"

The goal of this Lecture Series is to promote a scientific culture in which the translational potential of research projects is recognized and an understanding of collaboration between different scientific disciplines exists. To this end, this lecture series provides a platform for open exchange between scientifically active physicians (Clinician Scientists) and basic research-oriented scientists from diverse disciplines (Medical Scientists). An additional aim is to impart basic knowledge about translation, such as:

• Definitions and explanations of important terms in the field of translation
• The translational process and important competencies in translation
• General framework conditions, regulations and quality criteria
• Overview of the research structures and infrastructures at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Freiburg

By translation („From Bench to Bedside“) we mean „an interdisciplinary process in which preventive, diagnostic or therapeutic procedures are developed for application in humans on the basis of findings from basic research“. In this context, the consideration of the clinical expertise of physicians at the bedside is just as essential in the research and development of diagnostics and therapeutics as the expertise of researchers in the laboratory (‚bench‘) and results in an iterative process: „From bench to bedside and back“. These complementary dynamics are important, as feedback between basic research and the clinic is a critical success criterion for translational medicine.

Target Group:
Non-clinically-active scientists (Medical Scientists) and scientifically-active clinicians with an interest in research (Clinican Scientists and Advanced Clinician Scientists)

Location: Online via ZOOM

Time: Mondays, 12 - 1 pm
