What is the relationship between academic research and key discoveries that foster clinical development?

Daria Mochly-Rosen, PhD, will address the topic March 2 in a talk titled “Can Basic Research of Heart Attacks Lead to Drug Development in Academia?”

She will discuss the freedom to explore ideas, availability of outstanding researchers and encouragement to translate discovery to development that the academic setting provides.

Mochly-Rosen, the George D. Smith Professor in Translational Medicine, is chair of the Department of Molecular Pharmacology. The lecture is one in a series sponsored by the Office of Medical Development.

The talk is free and open to the public and begins at 7 p.m. in the Clark Center auditorium.
