Three types of biological
research. Research can be divided into
three categories: basic, translational, and applied. Outcomes from basic research feed into
translational predictions, and developed uses for these findings constitute the
basis for developing real-world applications that benefit humanity and the
world. Listed after the flow of research
are definitions for each research type as well as medical and plant biological
models for how the different divisions are interrelated. Also shown are overviews of the example usage
cases presented in Section 3.
