This is a short course/workshop intended to help attendees develop clinically-translatable hypotheses and early phase research designs across a broad set of disciplines. It will draw from real-world experiences of faculty and industry leaders with expertise in navigating the preclinical-to-clinical translational process. The workshop also aims to help attendees understand how to refine ideas to secure funding from varied sources, including Spectrum and Stanford internal pilot awards.

Lectures will include the latest regulatory guidance on digital/mobile health solutions and advice on licensing your discoveries. The course format will include a mix of lectures, real-world case studies and career advice. Students and mentors will be provided with opportunities for networking and personal research questions.

Attendees will leave the course understanding:

  • The role of translational science in developing a new therapy, device, or diagnostic.
  • The development process, from the design of a clinically-translatable hypothesis to first-in-human testing.
  • How to secure funding from varied sources, including Spectrum pilot grants.
  • The complex ethical and regulatory issues that an academic investigator faces in the development of new therapies, devices, or diagnostics.
  • Concepts in team building and project management that will increase the likelihood that a research plan/vision will move from human testing into clinical practice.
