Academy of Translational Medicine
COVID-19 has shown us what’s possible when boundaries blur and policy-makers, health professionals, researchers and industry come together to coordinate, collaborate, and accelerate the translation of medical research to the clinic. UBC and our partnering institutions have already established a powerful combination of scientific, clinical and technical infrastructure and expertise to push ideas and discoveries across boundaries and into clinical care.
The Academy of Translational Medicine is the connecting point for these capabilities that positions British Columbia as a fully integrated powerhouse to advance translational medicine on a worldwide scale.
