“…2007;Wilson-Kovacs and Hauskeller, 2012;Lander, 2016aLander, , 2016bMiller and French, 2016). Another notable analytical theme within this line of empirical studies is the notion of hybridity, the clinicianscientist as a "hybrid professional" (Brosnan et al, 2013;Brosnan and Michael, 2014;Wainwright and Williams, 2009) or "user-producer hybrid" (Douglas et al, 2015;Dunn and Jones, 2010;Hendriks et al, 2019). These studies of boundary work and hybridization call for new analytical conceptualizations that cut across assumed divides of knowledge users and producers -and separate worlds of clinic and research.…”

Translational research (TR) is subject to increasing attention and demand in research and health policy in the Nordic countries as well as internationally. While clinician-scientists are often positioned as key actors in both policy and academic debates on TR, less is known about the clinician-scientists’ everyday work—their practices and commitments at the interface of academia and clinical health care. Drawing on the framework of arena analysis, developed in situational analysis, this article presents an empirical exploration of the everyday practices of clinician-scientists by extending research into a Danish hospital setting. The findings shed light on hospital-based translational research as constituted by clinician-scientists’ practical integration of and transactions across many different work practice arenas. This paper depicts these arenas and the complex of commitments and capabilities involved. The analysis converges with existing Science and Technology Studies approaches to translational research as mutually reconfiguring clinical and scientific practices. In addition, it adds to this debate by providing an empirical work practice account of hospital-based TR and by suggesting a conceptual reframing of translational research as transactional research.

“…Advocates of Translational Medicine claim that the medical innovation would benefit from insights brought by an intensification of interdisciplinary linkages, the systematic utilization of clinical insights in basic studies, and the prioritization of the solution of patients' problems rather than disciplinary prioritiesin the life sciences research agenda (Marincola 2007;Sablinski 2014). Translational Medicine attracts great interest both within the scientific community and among policymakers, who highlight it as a key strategy for scientific progress in the medical sciences (Grimes 2011;McLeod et al 2011;Van der Valk et al 2011;Douglas et al 2014).…”

The tremendous achievements of life sciences research in the last 40 years have brought relatively little improvements to medical practice, suggesting a deficiency of the medical innovation system in capitalizing on these fundamental advances. We argue that a major cause of the poor innovative performance is the slow adaption of the scientific system to the novel research technologies made available by the progress in the life sciences - rather than resistance of practitioners. We interpret the changes in the organization of medical research through the lenses of the theory of New Sciences, which puts forward that the application of novel research technologies promotes new epistemological and methodological approaches to the investigation of complex phenomena, increasing interdisciplinary intellectual exchanges. In oncology, Translational Research, that embodies the features of a new science, coexists with the standard model of knowledge production in clinical medicine. Our comparison of the two approaches finds that Translational Research allows investigations across diverse and cognitively distant knowledge bases, thanks to the intensive use of research technologies that emerge from fundamental research. Unlike standard studies, the scientific impact of translational studies benefits from the adoption of an interdisciplinary approach. However, translational studies have an overall lower impact than their counterpart.
