January 2017 Issue of The Translational Scientist

Welcome to the January/February issue of The Translational Scientist! We’re starting the first issue of the year with a bite – as researchers have proven the efficacy of a malaria vaccine in a small human trial. Our Video of the Month shows how optogenetics is giving us a closer look at cell morphology and physiology. We also cover bioscience in space, via spaceflight-induced visual impairment. And we’ve got many more articles coming soon – we’ll be publishing new content every week for this issue so keep checking in to the website for new articles!
