face to face
Khanna ’ s success is an excellent example of translational research at ICGEB . He has shown the path to young scientists . The translational research that was looked down upon earlier , is now being looked at as the future .
Q : Even Nobel laureates agreed during recent discussion that both basic and translational research is important . Your comments ?
Of course , both are important . Dividing scientific research into discovery and translation is not a fair . If we go into the history of science in India , we will see that at various stages in the past we had people doing fundamental research became very important pillars of translational research . Whatever investments and research was done over many decades is giving fruits now .
