Program in Translational Therapeutics

• Resources – How We Can Help?

Mission:

To promote and accelerate early phase clinical development of novel translational therapeutics by building matrix partnerships between interdisciplinary and inter-institutional laboratory and clinical investigators.

Goals include:

1. To extend and expand the critical mass of expertise and leadership in Translational Therapeutics that is an identifiable resource for trainees and both intra- and extra-mural collaborators.
2. To facilitate translational therapeutics with engineered cells.
3. To promote translational science using engineered RNA and targeted nanomedicines.
4. To address the emerging disparities that restrict access to novel cell and gene therapies.
