“A tort is an act or omission that gives rise to injury or harm to another and amounts to a civil wrong for which courts impose liability. In the context of torts, ‘injury’ describes the invasion of any legal right, whereas ‘harm’ describes a loss or detriment in fact that an individual suffers.” (Cornell Law School, Legal Information Institute.

Translational science is the field of investigation focused on understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process."
