Examples of local initiatives and facilities

Therapeutic innovations networks are hosted by the UCL translational office. They aim to bring together multidisciplinary researchers and industry experts to tackle common obstacles and mobilise around strategic opportunities to accelerate translation. Networks include biologics, cell and gene therapies, devices and diagnostics, regenerative medicines, repurposing and small molecules.

The University of Edinburgh Healthcare Technology Accelerator Facility (HTAF), is an initiative to expedite the development and commercialisation of healthcare technology. HTAF removes the barriers that frequently prevent the development and translation of new healthcare technology, by providing facilities and services such as biological validation labs, specialist manufacture, regulatory experts, experienced project managers, as well as access to industry collaborators.
