Center for Comparative Translational Research
Translational research spans the continuum in which research findings from the researcher’s lab are moved to the patients ‘bedside’ (human) or ‘barn’ (animal). The Center for Comparative Translational Research (CTR) wants to make bridging the gap between benchtop and bedside/barn easier by helping researchers conduct comparative animal studies using induced and spontaneous disease models. It does so by facilitating, coordinating, integrating …
