March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, an initiative of the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer. This year, we prepared a series of short videos where specialists from the Champalimaud Foundation’s Digestive Unit talk about different aspects of the unit’s work.
In this first video, José Azevedo, colorectal surgeon, presents the three main scientific activities of the Digestive Unit: clinical research, translational research, and teaching.
He highlights, in particular, the unit’s successful collaborations with scientists working at the Foundation, which aim to bring scientific results more rapidly into clinical practice – the very definition of translational research.
