For several decades, leading scientists, researchers, and institutions across the world have made innovations and discoveries to prevent disease, mitigate disability, prolong quality lives, and improve health outcomes. Sadly, very few of these innovations are actually translated into life-saving therapies for individual and public and population health.
Dr. FrancisCollins, former head tor of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) told the U.S. Congress: We have witnessed unprecedented advances in basic and fundamental science; however, the translation of research discoveries into treatments and interventions that improve human health in many instances is a slow and failure-prone process.”
There are very few avenues for publishing translational and applied public health research. The International Journal of Translational Medical Research and Public Health aims to fill the gap and will provide a robust platform for the exchange and dissemination of studies with the greatest potential for translation into interventions to improve population and public health.
