Navigating Science Translation: From Research to Real-World Applications with Dr. David Perlin

What does it actually take to move a scientific discovery from the lab bench to the patient's bedside? In this episode, Phil Crowley sits down with Dr. David Perlin, Chief Scientific Officer and Executive Vice President at the Center for Discovery and Innovation at Hackensack Meridian Health — one of New Jersey's leading health systems. Dr. Perlin is an infectious disease researcher who has spent decades specializing in science translation, turning foundational research into real clinical solutions. Dr. Perlin shares how Hackensack Meridian has built a model that goes far beyond traditional academic research — one that starts with unmet clinical need and brings together academic researchers, industry partners, and clinicians from day one. He walks through real-world examples including their rapid COVID-19 diagnostic program, drug-resistant infection research, and pandemic preparedness work. The conversation also covers how AI is transforming drug discovery and patient monitoring, why early industry partnerships are critical for academic researchers, and what it takes to build solutions that actually reach patients. Dr. Perlin closes with advice for innovators everywhere: be bold, embrace failure as part of the process, and stay laser focused on the solution you're trying to achieve. 🔗 Learn more about Dr. Perlin and the Center for Discovery and Innovation by searching his name online. 📚 Get Phil's book Avoid Startup Failure! on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3UPE1gW [https://amzn.to/3UPE1gW]
