基础研究与临床研究的区别在于：

基础研究或者bench research 研究的对象是动物，细胞，基因，分子等等。

临床研究的对象是人。

Clinical research focuses on the direct application of knowledge to improve patient care. It involves studies, or trials, that are done in people, such as epidemiological and behavioral studies, outcomes research, and health sciences research. For example, clinical research might involve studying the best way to perform a surgical technique.
