The translational research and development activities at the LSI are having a large impact on Human Health and Wellness. Researchers at the LSI have been responsible for bringing targeted new drugs to the market and into clinical trials. Teams are also focused on impacting healthcare by changing the way it is practiced through the implementation of molecular based technologies to better predict health and disease.
