Translational genomics
Genomics is a field of study focusing on genes and how they interact to impact disease. Translational research aims to adapt experimental findings into medical interventions. Translational genomics thus creates an integrative approach of applying genomic information to influence disease at a prevention, diagnosis, or treatment level.
