Welcome to the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø College Centre for Advanced Therapeutics
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) – such as a gene, cell or tissue-engineered therapeutic – are a rapidly evolving field and many have now reached clinical application.
The aim of the Centre is to increase the cohesion and critical mass of teams within the College to catalyse translation of promising new ATMP treatments.
51³Ô¹ÏÍø College has already made major contributions in a wide range of key advanced therapeutic research areas including biomaterials, cardiology, haematology, neurology, respiratory, vaccines/ RNA therapeutics and vectorology.
Our aims
With our multi-faculty and cross-disciplinary approach, we will:
- Increase communication and exchange of expertise between established 51³Ô¹ÏÍø advanced therapeutics PIs and their teams within the field
- Identify and establish ATMP resources and core facilities that can increase efficiency and reduce costs
- Identify advanced therapeutics cross-faculty science and integrate this with unmet clinical need across the related NHS hospitals
- Foster linkage between 51³Ô¹ÏÍø PIs and Industry including the development of spin-outs
- Catalyse and coordinate the training of the next generation of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø investigators in advanced therapeutics
- Provide a focus for 51³Ô¹ÏÍø ATMPs activities including a step-change in its visibility and influence
- Establish an 51³Ô¹ÏÍø focus for patient/public involvement and outreach in the advanced therapeutics field
