It is directed by a researcher with years of experience in academic and clinical research, bio-analysis, post-graduation education and data-analysis. also fosters the collaboration of highly qualified professionals from different research fields, who are assembled according to project, compounding a team who offer high quality science support. Scientific research is a process of knowledge construc
tion, which aims to generate new information or demonstrate new concepts and hypotheses from pre-existing knowledge, and can be split into two main categories: basic or academic and applied or clinical. Academic research focuses on biological processes and highlights molecules function in biological systems. On the other hand, clinical research own a brunch of medical sciences which application of evidences (prevention, treatment and diagnosis) in clinical practice increases the quality of health care. Hence, reflective aptitude on scientific evidence become necessary skills to contemporary health care professional. All these factors together characterizes the translational research, allow the clinical decision-making to be more scientific and accurate, and less empirical, and enable the practice of personalized medicine, as well. The knowledge obtained in basic research to clinical practice which in turn, gives knowledge back for clinical development of basic sciences, characterizes the translational research. The main characteristic of translational science is interdisciplinary, bringing teams of scientists, doctors, laboratory technicians, bioengineers, epidemiologists, biostatistics, analysts, patent and bioethics experts, together as appropriate. However, one of the greatest difficulties of translational research is interdisciplinary communication, where the understanding and interaction are not always easy when different viewpoints are placed in the same project. Also, the success of a research project is directly dependent on the correct study design and methodology to allow an accurate answer to the study’s objective.
