The journey to improve patient care starts in the research lab with discovery science. Discovery science builds a strong foundation for future scientific advances to improve the health of patients. Eventually, this work may lead to clinical trials, which bridge the gap between research and patient care and help a discovery become a therapy. This animation provides an example of what happens in the research lab before clinical trials begin.
