What is the role of basic scientific research?

We are generally well informed regarding human clinical trials and research of new drugs.  However, many of these drugs or basic ideas for these treatments began their journey many years ago in academic institutions or within companies conducting basic research. A huge amount of time, effort and money is invested in basic research.  This Science café will introduce the techniques and approaches used in basic research and discuss its impact and relevance on future drug treatments.
