What is an MRC Translational Medicine Centre?
A major challenge in medical research is finding ways of translating research findings into practice. As part of its plans for tackling these problems, the Medical Research Council (MRC) issued a call for proposals to create research centres aimed at translating scientific discoveries into new drugs, therapies, diagnostic tools or methods of prevention; or using clinical knowledge to inform fundamental research priorities. The MRC selected six proposals for funding. The MRC Translational Medicine Centres will focus on transplant medicine, obesity, neuromuscular diseases, genomics and global health, outbreak analysis and modelling and the molecular causes and indicators of disease.
