BRC Translational skills and capabilities

About us

Our overarching goal is to accelerate the development of novel medicines for patients. We are a multidisciplinary team, funded by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), catalyzing the translation of small molecule inhibitors into clinical candidates for early stage clinical trials. We establish partnerships to maximise innovation, learning and new avenues for translation through close collaboration with clinicians, academics, and a range of external partners.

Collaborate with us

We have an established track record of securing internal and external funding from a variety of funding sources to enable the advancement of translational projects. We are disease agnostic, and are particularly interested in neglected areas of disease research. We are an experienced team, and can assist in identifying project opportunities, planning downstream work packages driving towards pre-clinical development and applying for translational funding.

We are always looking for new collaborations with academics and clinicians to develop small molecule inhibitors from early stage screening to pre-clinical candidates. If you have a project in mind please get in touch Cassandra.adams@cmd.ox.ac.uk or Annette.vondelft@cmd.ox.ac.uk

Our resources
