The structure of clinical translation: efficiency, information, and ethics

The structure of clinical translation: efficiency, information, and ethics

Jonathan Kimmelman et al. Hastings Cent Rep. 2015 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

The so-called drug pipeline is not really about drugs and not much like a pipeline. It is really about the production and dissemination of information, and it is much more like a web. The misunderstanding leads to a poor understanding of what's wrong with clinical translation and how it can be improved.
