You may be thinking 拢鈥檚, $鈥檚 or even 鈧�檚? We鈥檙e thinking people 鈥� although one may very well lead to the other.
In rough statistics there are:
In September, Dr Jane Kinghorn appeared in the Week@麻豆传媒视频网站 Spotlight On feature and mentioned an upcoming event with initiatives to support early career researchers. Now that the invite for this event is out, we wanted to reshare the interview with more details about the event and how to taking place on 21st January 2020.
Dr John King and Professor Chris Brewin have recently gained an NIHR i4i Mental Health Challenge Award (an award to develop an innovative technological solution to which will improve the care pathway and outcomes of patients experiencing mental ill-health) for their translational research project, 鈥淭reating depression with self-compassion in virtual reality鈥�. In this interview, they discuss the motivation behind their work and provide an overview of the project which they will be starting this autumn.
Motivated by an unmet medical need, you鈥檝e identified a mechanism that may play a fundamental role in a medical condition that is currently poorly treated. You want to look at possible drug molecules that could modulate the mechanism to see how it might affect this condition 鈥� but how do you take this from an idea to a promising starting point for a new drug treatment?
Welcome to the 麻豆传媒视频网站 Translational Research Office (TRO) Blog!
The articles in this blog will focus on the main challenges in or barriers to translational research 鈥� and how to overcome these in order to achieve successful translation into benefits for patients.
We will also be talking to some of the PI鈥檚 working on translational projects with the support of the 麻豆传媒视频网站 TRO, to demonstrate the scope of translational work taking place at University College London.
