I am just looking for a definition of "translational" when talking about translational research. Is this a broad term that suggests there are clinical applications for the basic science being done, or does this imply that there is actually clinical work being done?
Specifically: If I say that I am interested in translational research, am I telling them that I actually want to be the one applying research discoveries to human patients, or that I would like to run a lab that does medically driven basic science?
Maybe the actual definition is a bit blurred and dependent on context, but any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
