OVERVIEW:
This symposium highlights several innovative translation initiatives to gather insight into bench-to-bedside pathways and barriers.
2021 marks the 4th Curing the Epilepsies Conference. While there have been significant advances in many domains of basic science over the past two decades, consensus among researchers, clinicians, and advocates is that the translation of basic research findings into clinical impact has been slow. To quicken the pace of translation, more improvements are needed.
This symposium presents examples that can serve as models for future translational work and generate ideas for changing research and clinical infrastructure/culture to speed development.
Learning Objectives:
Following participation in this activity, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the barriers to translating research outcomes into advances in clinical practice
- Recognize how new "thinking," new mechanisms, team science, and collaborations can overcome the challenges and advance translation
- Review pathways to enhance the translation of new knowledge into advances in clinical practice
