Translational research:
"… is the further development of university
technology leading to spinouts from universities or at least commercial
activities extending beyond the scope of licensing. One of the problems
is that the term translational has been used almost exclusively by the life-sciences
community". Vic Russo
"… is taking an idea from the laboratory and
proving it has some commercial application, then protecting it through the
process". Diane Vines
