Session Description:This session invites participants to immerse themselves in a multi-day, unfolding case study rooted in the real-world complexities of translating an early scientific discovery into a potential therapeutic intervention. The case simulates the iterative process of decision-making under uncertainty, encouraging participants to explore what it takes to move a promising innovation forward within a multidisciplinary and stakeholder-rich environment. This experience is less about finding the “right” answer and more about learning to ask the right questions.
Learning Objectives:- Explore the breadth of translational challenges involved in moving scientific discovery toward clinical and societal impact, especially in the context of paediatric oncology.
- Develop skills in cross-disciplinary collaboration, critical thinking, and stakeholder engagement required to navigate real-world innovation pathways.
- Reflect on the role of ambiguity, iteration, and diverse perspectives in shaping the translational process—from early preclinical work through to clinical trial design and beyond.
