Addressing translational knowledge and skills gaps
The team:
- Have established a range of programmes to prepare and encourage the next generation of scientists and clinicians to enter the field of translational research.
- Through the ACCELERATE programme, have established a range of online courses, training events and resources, including ACCELERATE potential – an introductory, self-paced online module on translational research.
- Share knowledge and skills, through more traditional academic routes, by teaching on MSc and BSc courses, and provide some undergraduate placement opportunities.
- Work with academic module leaders to develop course content, lectures and skills training identified as key knowledge requirements for translational scientists.
