A Translational Approach to Addressing COVID‑19
We support research activities spanning the translational science spectrum to address COVID-19. With the aim of accelerating translational research across all diseases, we developed research tools, technologies, expertise and collaborative networks that can quickly pivot to address urgent public health issues.

The process of developing new therapies and getting them to patients is long and difficult. During public health emergencies, science — and the process of turning observations into new therapies — must move faster than ever. That is where translational science comes in.
Translational science is focused on streamlining the process of moving (“translating”) lab findings into medical practice and treatments to improve health and well-being. We are concentrating on advancing the science of translation.
By using our networks to draw together experts with necessary and complementary skills, knowledge and experience, we enable projects to cut through operational roadblocks.
