Children’s Hospital Boston launched a new blog to highlight its scientific and clinical innovations.
The Vector blog, which went live today, covers "hot and timely topics in biomedicine with a special interest in the scientific, business and policy issues affecting the translation of discovery to patient care," according to a press release.
The blog posts are written by and for scientists, clinicians, and inventors from inside and outside the hospital, according to the release. The blog replaces a print magazine that went by the same name.
The inaugural posts include looks at pluripotent stem cells as a platform for drug discovery, "bridge building" as a means to advance translation in medicines, the practice of patenting genes and “smart clothing” to help babies with brain injuries.
