Liverpool Translation Hub
Translational research is defined as “medical research that is concerned with facilitating the practical application of scientific discoveries to the development and implementation of new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease”.
The Liverpool Translation Hub supports researchers to fully translate a research idea into practical improvement of healthcare and prevention of disease. It provides translational advice, training, and mentorship, alongside access to in-house and external funding and expertise.
The Hub is also the structure through which potential partners can connect with us and find opportunities for collaborating with our researchers.
Researchers can find internal funding opportunities posted here, so please check back for updates.
