Resumen:
Translational research looks to take the latest
innovations made in the laboratory setting to translate findings into effective
and sustainable medical interventions and improved preventative measures.
Funding support is increasingly tied to practical healthcare outcomes, with
this trend likely only to increase in coming years, Translational Neuroscience:
A Guide to a Successful Program, is a timely guide to developing research
programs that bring translational advances to the forefront.
Translational Neuroscience provides practical information from scientists with
first-hand experience in developing a cutting-edge translational facility. The
book opens with chapters that provide guidance to organizing a center for
translational science. Chapters look at topics ranging from mentoring and
career planning for clinician scientists to improving the design of core
facilities and addressing infrastructure needs. The second half of the book
provides valuable case studies of translational neuroscience in action, with
examples ranging from using to transcranial magnetic stimulation to studies on
drug abuse and telemedicine applications. The final chapter looks to the future
of basic science research, how academic health centers can be reorganized, and
how future generations of translational neuroscientists can be trained.
Translational Neuroscience provides a blueprint to developing an innovative and
successful translational research program. Deans, department chairs, academic
health center administrators, and researchers will find this guide useful for
drafting programs in translational research and avoiding costly pitfalls. While
grounded in examples from basic neuroscience research, this book will be a
useful tool to all scientists looking to develop centers of translational
science across research disciplines.
