UIC Live Training Course
Starts 10/8/2025
Position: Research Personnel, Graduate Students, Pre & Post-Doctoral Trainees, Faculty
Topic: Translational Research Technology
Description:
While Translational Research focuses on the process of translating discoveries to practical application, Translational Science offers a broader framework and innovative methods to improve the translation of knowledge into real-world solutions.
