June 28, 2018It takes an average of 17 years for medical research to be turned into real world practice. You don’t have to be a scientist to know that’s a really long time. The total percentage of interventions that are actually translated into practical application isn’t great either – only 14%. Much of this delay is the result of a big gap at the very last stage of translation, where academic knowledge is
