“What is the TSBM?” is a new live video that highlights the Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM) framework and project at the CPHSS at the WashU School of Public Health. Viewers will learn how the TSBM and the Translating for Impact Toolkit are used by researchers in St. Louis and across the United States to plan for, assess, and demonstrate the impact of their work in the real world. The video also spotlights a case study titled “Detecting Brain Cancer Without a Knife,” which tells the story of the development of sonobiopsy technology by Dr. Hong Chen for noninvasive brain cancer detection.
