The goal of translational research is to advance basic research and new technology toward clinical utility. Molecular diagnostics focuses primarily on nucleic acids. Rapid advances in molecular diagnostics both enable basic research and result in practical diagnostic tests. This central position of molecular diagnostics in translational research has led us to bring you this special edition of Clinical Chemistry, Molecular Diagnostics: At the Cutting Edge of Translational Research. We start the issue with a reminder that basic research is the foundation for advances in molecular diagnostics through an interview with Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, a pioneer in telomere biology. This area of research holds promise in improving our understanding of aging, stem cell biology, and diseases like cancer and has stimulated the development of new molecular diagnostic tests.Basic research …
