Research Activities
Our programs, projects and other research activities tackle ongoing challenges in translational research so that new treatments and other health solutions can reach people faster.
Research Activities at NCATS
Through our research activities, we overcome roadblocks that slow progress on developing treatments for many different diseases and that can lead to inequities in clinical outcomes. Explore the range of initiatives we support at NCATS and beyond.
NIH Quantum Biomedical Innovations and Technologies (Qu-BIT) Program
Qu-BIT aims to further the application of innovative novel quantum-enabled sensing technologies and quantum computing approaches for various biomedical and translational use cases purposes.
OpenData Portal
Our OpenData Portal is an open and accessible platform for sharing COVID-19-related drug repurposing data and experiments involving approved drugs.
Stem Cell Translation Laboratory (SCTL)
Our experts develop methods and standards to use stem cell technology (using cells derived from skin or blood) to advance treatment approaches.
Toxicology in the 21st Century (Tox21)
Our experts are part of this federal collaboration that aims to rapidly test whether substances are harmful to people.
