Institute

The Institute for 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 challenges. The ITM supports these efforts with knowledge, infrastructure and specific partnerships and will establish 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 therapy solutions. The knowledge created will then lay the foundations for educating the next generation of researchers and engineers that are better prepared to translate science and technology more efficiently.
