• Ep 1 | Meet the CTSC of Northern Ohio | From Research to Real Life Podcast 14.06.2024 22λ

  Brought to you by the Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative of Northern Ohio -- ”Folks actually usually are, you know, either basic researchers or clinical […] the area in between is referred to as Translational Research. So this is taking something from a lab and applying it to humans, because obviously what’s happening in the lab has no meaning unless it impacts human health.” “... The best way [to describe Translational Science] probably is to say we’re doing research to improve the research process and make every research study easier to do.” - Grace McComsey, MD, FIDSA In our first episode of From Research to Real Life, CTSC Principal Investigator, Grace McComsey, MD, FIDSA, and Executive Director, Shannon Swiatkowski, MS, MHcM, give us a proper introduction to the CTSC and the resources available to researchers and community members including funding and training opportunities.
