Translation Manchester brings together a network of support, facilities and expertise to make the pathway to translation quicker and easier.
Translational research is the process by which basic scientific research is translated into patient-focused research that improves healthcare and wellbeing within society.
Successful translational research relies on collaborations and multidisciplinary working. Translation Manchester aims to:
- enable research progression across all stages of the translational pathway;
- facilitate new and productive connections between academic researchers, the clinical workforce and industry;
- raise the profile of translational research at the University and associated Greater Manchester NHS trusts;
- support researchers in overcoming the barriers and bottlenecks encountered in their translational research.
