Situated across five floors in the Heritage building within the heart of
the Birmingham Health Partners campus the Institute of translational medicine
benefits from being in close proximity to a number of its key partners
including the University of Birmingham, Birmingham Women's Hospital and
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS foundation trust. My name is Francesca
Verona I'm a clinician scientist and a metrologist and my area research is
around rheumatic disease. So my group works across two research areas we work
in clinical trials and we work in them male in collaboration with
pharmaceutical companies but also we collaborate with companies and with
other academics on early research development and this is mainly through
work in humans but also with some animal work and for the human works were very
lucky because within the Institute of translational medicine we have access to
cohorts of patients so we have the possibility to access to biological
material the patient's very kindly donate. As well as clinical data so these
are extremely pressures to really dissect different Prodigy netic
mechanism in humans. And then we have the possibility to look back at animal work
and to dissect some of the mechanisms we've identified in humans in a more
mechanistic way. I hope to develop more our research more and more into humans
and to really try to understand what is the right drug for the right patients
and this is what we're trying to do here and our research is going towards that
direction to refine the mechanism of the drugs that we already have to repurpose
drugs that have already be made and to help in the development of new compounds
that will be specialized for a specific patients and that's I think is the core
of the precision medicine. The Institute's unique location means
that patients and our industrial partners can benefit from the colocation
of a number of nationally important buildings including the advanced
therapies facility, the human biomaterials Resource Center and the
West Midlands academic Health Sciences Network. This colocation fosters and
allows research partnerships to flourish enabling communication and collaboration
between different disciplines and expertise. To facilitate the rapid and
cost-effective development of new drugs, medical devices and diagnostics. My name
is Liam Grover I'm a professor of biomaterial science here at the
University of Birmingham. I'm a material scientist by training but my research
really focuses on using materials both polymers and ceramics in order to try
and repair and regenerate parts of the damaged human body. Birmingham Health
Partners and the Institute's translational medicine have both been
incredibly important to my career and to my research. I've always spent time
looking at basic scientific phenomena being able to have my research in the
Institute of translational medicine and having links with clinicians and patient
groups facilitated by Birmingham health partners have really helped to focus my
research so it has the best possible chance of reaching patient benefit. The
Institute is a place where scientists, researchers clinicians and industry
partners can come together to translate innovative medical science into tangible
patient benefits. Rapidly, rigorously and seamlessly.
