The power of translational research


2nd International Conference on Clinical Trials and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Abstract :

Clinical research has been an essential component of SerenaGroupâ�?�?s�?® Center-of-Excellence model for wound and hyperbaric centers. We are one of the worldâ�?�?s leaders in clinical research in wound healing and hyperbaric medicine. In recent years, we realized that a comprehensive research program must include translational research. In 2015 SerenaGroup Innovationâ�?¢ opened a laboratory at Northeastern Ohio Medical School to conduct preclinical and bench studies in wound healing. We also partnered with several university preclinical research groups. An unexpected shift in the mindset of our PhDs and clinical investigators occurred in a relatively short period of time: information began to flow from the lab into the clinic and back again. At our conferences, clinicians expressed a desire for new therapies and improved treatments. The research team focused on these unsolved problems. The result has been improved treatment algorithms, a better understanding of the science behind existing treatment modalities and most importantly, innovation. The research team has filed numerous patents as a result of these efforts. Clearly, a translational culture improves patient care and drives innovation.
