This webinar will examine the process of transforming clinical observations into structured research initiatives. Dr. Paul Yong will discuss methods for deriving research questions from clinical experience, developing registries and biobanks to address these questions, and identifying a sustainable research niche. The session will also emphasize the role of multidisciplinary collaboration in fostering impactful and translational research.
Dr. Julia Bond is an epidemiologist whose work focuses on advancing positive aspects of sexual health as holistic, measurable, and valid domains of public health inquiry.
