The clinical translation of biomedical research requires a culture of solutions as a second critical pillar next to discovery. Engineers use biomedical and other knowledge, with a solution-oriented mind-set, to generate tools and concepts that catalyse the transformation of knowledge into medical solutions. In this light, bioengineering becomes the driving force of accelerating clinical translation and introducing new concepts in validation, prevention, diagnostics and precision therapy.
