Module 1: Overview of the Course and Introduction to Translational Science
Module overview
What you will learn
Module 1 introduces the field of translational science, including its goals, and the NCATS Translational Science Principles, which exemplify effective approaches in translational science. It also introduces the metarrestin case study, which will be used to demonstrate these Principles in action and how they advance translational progress toward treatments and cures. This case study will be showcased in all subsequent modules, and this introduction will lay the foundation for the rest of the course.
