Clinical and translational science is like when doctors and scientists work together to make medicine better. They want to help sick people feel better and get better faster.
First, they do experiments in the lab to see how different things work. Then, they try these things on people who are sick. They see if the medicine or treatment helps the sick people. If it works, they bring it to other doctors and hospitals so they can use it to help more people.
It's like when mommy or daddy gives you medicine when you're sick. The doctor and scientist worked together to make sure the medicine helps you feel better. And if it works really well, then other kids who are sick can use the same medicine too!
