The CAGs represents the strengths of the translational research

The funds for health research is earmarked for projects that benefit the patient treatment today and in the future. In this regard, the translational research, which CAGs represent, plays an important role for better and faster treatment of patients. The CAGs consists of both basal researchers and clinicians in the hospitals. This is to pave the way for a shorter path from the research laboratory to the clinical practice at the hospitals. Likewise, the research comes closer to the patient-oriented environment and can thus meet the new needs in the health care system.
