Can Basic Research of Heart Attacks Lead to Drug Development in Academia?
Daria Mochly Rosen. Chair, Department of Molecular Pharmacology. It is generally believed that the resources and tenor of academia are not conducive to applicable research. However academic research often yields key discoveries that can affect clinical care. The freedom to explore ideas, the outstanding researchers available for discussions and collaborations, and the institution that encourages the pursuit of research allows the translation of laboratory discoveries into drug development.
