This scores strong on and cross-sector coordination (D3) and very strong on disruption (E). Accelerated clinical translation of biomedicine has the potential to profoundly alter the entire nature of the challenge. However, rapid translation will require the judicious use of biomarkers if it is to meet the needs of the 2035 goal (B1).
