Translational Science

Translational research aims to move scientific breakthroughs from the bench to the bedside, finding ways to harness advances to improve health care and individuals’ lives. The Bioethics and Subject Advocacy Program of the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute educates and guides researchers in how to conduct ethical research of this sort. Additionally, faculty of the Center for Bioethics conduct a range of related research, publishing and presenting to national and international audiences.
