My work made me believe that the words written on the label of cosmetic products are reliable and   backed by scientific data. Every claim on the label is always substantiated by studies.

And these people knew enough to translate ordinary happenings into something new - Alexander Fleming   Translation is to convert practical into practice. Translational research is the research process that investigates and translates nonclinical research results into clinical applications and tests their safety and efficacy in a Phase 1 clinical trial. It is aimed at translating (converting) results of basic research into results that directly benefit humans. Translational research involves the application of knowledge gained through basic research to studies that could support the development of new products. For example, translational research in the field of medicine may involve using knowledge of the biology of a disease to identify and evaluate chemical compounds in disease models, with a view to selecting potentia
