Translational research
Translation is the principle of turning fundamental discoveries into improvements in human health and economic benefit. MRC’s translational aims – to drive innovation, speed up the transfer of the best ideas into new interventions, and improve the return on investment in fundamental research – and objectives are outlined in the MRC Strategic plan.
The translational research group (TRG) provide oversight and guidance on our activities in this area.
