by | Jan 27, 2022 | Past events, Seminar series, Videos | 0 comments

The Translation Manchester Research Network (TMRN) brings together groups and organisations which support health-related translational research projects at all stages- whether they be in the early discovery stages or advancing towards adoption and spread. The TMRN is a one-stop shop for all of your translational research support needs.

Since February 2021, we have been running monthly online seminars open to all researchers across the University. This is a unique opportunity for you to connect with Translation Manchester Research Network (TMRN) partners and hear how they can help support and progress translational research projects. The growing network includes organisations from across the University, Greater Manchester NHS Trusts and industry. With network members supporting projects at each phase of the translational research pathway, this is your opportunity to meet them and develop future collaborations.

The first seminar of 2022 was held virtually on the 26th January 2022 13:00 -14:00. Speakers were Alisha Patel from Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre and Kat Moklak-Dutton from the NIHR Greater Manchester Clinical Research Network (GM CRN).

Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre

The GJBRC will discover and develop new treatments and implement optimal care pathways that provide better outcomes and transform the lives of patients.

How do you support researchers in Manchester?

The Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre is a partnership between the Manchester Centre for Clinical Neurosciences (part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Group), The University of Manchester and the Manchester Academic Health Science Centre.

We combine discovery science and experimental medicine to rapidly translate our research into healthcare benefit. We develop new treatments and interventions to improve outcomes and transform the lives of patients with neurological disease.

The Centre has a specific focus at this time on brain tumours, stroke and dementia and neuroimmunology. Cross cutting themes are imaging, pathology and neurorehabilitation.

At what stage in their research project should a researcher approach you for support?

All stages.
