  • What is Translational Global Health?

    Translational research facilitates the translation of findings from basic science to practical applications in global health practice and, thus, meaningful health outcomes for diverse populations and societies.

    Translational Global Health is an independent blog on the PLOS BLOGS Network, focusing on the field, concepts and challenges of global health. Dr Alessandro Demaio and his team of regular guest bloggers bring honest, pragmatic discussion – and the occasional passion-inspired rant – with a special interest in Non-Communicable Disease and Global Health 2.0.
