The Institute of Translational Medicine (ITM) provides a home for all researchers committed to translating their basic science findings and novel technologies into medical applications, and thus engage in finding solutions to solve major clinical and societal challenges.
The ITM supports these efforts with knowledge, infrastructure and specific partnerships. It provides collaborative networks of clinicians and medical institutions in Zurich and Switzerland, as well as internationally.
Our goal is to undertake systematic research into the science of translation, as well as to learn how to accelerate the transfer of discoveries into new medical diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. Thereby, we help to sustain and improve the quality of life for people into old age. The knowledge created lays the foundations for educating the next generation of researchers, engineers and clinicians.
