basic-discovery-translational-opportunity-finder

separate

Finds translational opportunities that connect basic-research discoveries to clinically meaningful use cases such as diagnosis, stratification, prognosis, treatment response prediction, monitoring, or therapeutic development. Use this skill when a user wants to turn a mechanism finding, pathway signal, cellular phenotype, experimental observation, or omics discovery into a stronger translational research direction. Always separate mechanistic relevance from translational usability, and never present a basic finding as clinically actionable unless the evidence supports that level.

When to use

• turning mechanism findings into translational research directions
• identifying plausible clinical use cases
• mapping translational opportunities from omics discoveries
• auditing bridge evidence for translational paths
• prioritizing strongest translational routes
• identifying missing links and barriers
• defining discovery units and biological context
• recommending defensible next-step directions

When not to use

• patient-specific diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment decisions
• unsupported claims that a mechanistic finding is already clinically useful
• inventing translational relevance without literature support
• drug recommendation for an individual patient
• generic brainstorming
• clinical recommendation tool
