About Translational Medical Sciences
Our vision is to undertake world leading collaborative research to develop novel therapies and train future research and healthcare professionals. We aim to achieve this by linking cutting edge laboratory techniques with rigorous clinical research to bring new therapies into clinical use for the benefit of patients.
Key to our strategy is the promotion of cross-disciplinary collaboration. The unit benefits from world leading expertise across a wide range of innovative laboratory techniques and important disease areas including cancer, digestive diseases, kidney disease and respiratory disease. There is a growing appreciation of how diseases interact and the impact of multimorbidity on health and quality of life. We therefore seek to work in a collaborative manner to combine our wealth of expertise, talent and experience to address important unmet healthcare needs.
We have a strong track record of collaborating with industry partners and launching spin-out companies to ensure that novel discoveries are developed into new products that are made available to patients as rapidly as possible.
