BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES--CLINICAL TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE: THE NEXT GENERATION OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
PREREQUISITE: Biology
INSTRUCTORS: Dan Cooper, M.D., Director, Institute for Clinical Translational Science (ICTS), and medical and professional staff from ICTS and the College of Health Sciences; Dr. Hye-Won Shin, ICTS, Cluster Coordinator
Biomedical research is undergoing a revolution. The traditional silos that have separated basic science, clinical application, community, and university are breaking down. The next frontier involves new technologies and approaches to speed up the process by which basic science discoveries are translated to applications, to the real, day-to-day ways in which physicians and health care professionals treat patients and improve their health. In this course, we will expose students to key elements of this revolution by lectures, laboratories, and interactions with UC Irvine physicians and scientists who are actively involved in the burgeoning field of translational science. The key areas of this course include:
Translational Technologies
Human Performance Laboratory
Robotics Laboratory (new tools for surgery; new tools for rehabilitation)
Cells-in-Action Laboratory
Exploring the Chemistry of the Human Ventilome Laboratory (Markers of Disease in the Human Breath)
Study Design and Biostatistics
The New Ethics of Clinical Research
Biomedical Informatics—The New Age of the Electronic Medical Record
How computers will revolutionize health care
Principles of data mining for new discoveries
Medical Research and Community Outreach and Engagement
The Science of Team Science
By the end of the course, students will gain a greater appreciation of the challenges of team science; how physicians and health care professionals can enhance basic research; and how the value of new discoveries depend in large measure on how well they are translated into changes in the practice of medicine in our communities.
