# Translational Medicine: Advancing from Bench to Bedside

The Library of Congress celebrated the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA structure with a panel discussion that included Nobel Laureate James D. Watson (who in collaboration with several other scientists, discovered the structure of DNA), Nobel Laureate Carol Greider of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Elliott Crooke of Georgetown University School of Medicine. Orla Smith, managing editor of Science Translational Medicine, moderated the panel. The discussion focused on translational medicine, which takes basic scientific discoveries in the laboratory (bench) and uses it in the field (bedside) to produce new drugs, devices and treatment options of cancer and other diseases. The biological processes brought about by understanding the structure of DNA have been opening doors to new medical research and treatments since 1953.
