Concept of Translation Research Translational research Transition from basic science to clinical research T1 to T2 to T3

Key knowledge that we need Defining the Gestome What is the normal pregnancy? Is easy measure of gestational age the primary outcome we should assess or should we assess fetal maturation

PTB clinical trials Restrictive nature of trials on pregnant women Stratification of pregnancy to high risk vs non-high risk Do what we know works – e.g., reducing smoking Make clinical trials more efficient via better less restrictive design Better phenotyping

Advocacy Take a more positive tack on presenting work and translatability Engage patients Use social media to improve engagement Graphic messaging

Training of investigators Cross training for translational research Basic to Clinical Clinical to Basic Continuous feedback Train to be entrepreneurial Co-mentoring for diverse intellectual approaches and shared lexicons
