Translational Epidemiology

Translational Epidemiology

Translational epidemiology is the study of risk factors and diseases in large populations, harnessing the power of modern phenotyping, including large-scale omics approaches. In this review, we comment on the power and limitations of modern molecular translational epidemiology and suggest collaborative team science as a specific avenue to secure its existence in the next era of genomic research.
