Training translators for smart drug discovery.
To achieve advances in clinical medicine, we need investigators with a sophisticated understanding of medicine and pharmacology who are capable of projecting their preclinical research across the translational divide. Such expertise in translational medicine and therapeutics has become scant in academia, industry, and regulatory bodies. Here we discuss strategies for addressing this deficit in human capital.
