The T1 T2 Translational Research Framework

The T1 and T2 Translational Research Framework describes stages in turning scientific discoveries into practical health applications. T1 research focuses on translating basic lab findings into new tests or treatments, often involving initial clinical trials. T2 research takes those findings and works to develop guidelines, implement them in healthcare settings, and evaluate their effectiveness in real-world patient care. Overall, this framework guides how scientific knowledge progresses from initial discovery to widespread clinical use, ensuring innovations are effectively tested, validated, and adopted to improve health outcomes.
