Education Centre

In our commitment to widen participation, amplify potential and remove barriers in translational research, with other UCL offices we have collaboratively put together tools, resources and training programmes to enhance your knowledge.

TIN Roadmaps

We have developed roadmaps as tools to map out the development pathway for each therapeutic modality. Within the roadmaps, you are signposted towards the specific internal UCL and external resource that can provide support at each stage of the translational process.

Translational Training - ACCELERATE

Developed by the Academic Careers Office, ACCELERATE is a portfolio of activities aimed at upskilling the UCL research community in translational research through technical training, skills development, and encouraging innovative thinking. Here, also find other relevant training programmes across the university and educational resources beyond UCL.

Informational Resources for Translational Research

Visit the Translational Research Office (TRO) website to view reports, papers, blog articles and other educational resources useful for those wishing to learn more about translational research and the extensive infrastructure in place at UCL to accelerate translation.

TIN Webinar Recordings

We have made our online Therapeutic Innovation Networks events available to view as recorded webinars here.

NIHR Clinical Trials Toolkit

Developed by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), the Clinical Trials Toolkit provides practical advice to researchers in designing and conducting publicly funded clinical trials in the UK. Through the use of an interactive routemap, this site provides information on best practice and outlines the current legal and practical requirements for conducting clinical trials. [*Disclaimer]

Oxford Global Guidance Devices Regulation Decision Support Tool

An excellent digital tool from Oxford Global aimed at people working in the area of medical devices, helping researchers to navigate device and IVD regulations. [*Disclaimer]

Vigene Viral Delivery Guide - Choose the right viral vector for your research

Vigene designed this guide to help researchers decide which of the three most popular recombinant viruses, AAV, adenovirus, or lentivirus, will work best for their specific applications. [*Disclaimer]

MDC Connects: A Guide to Drug Discovery

In the Spring of 2020, Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) ran a series of 9 weekly webinars, MDC Connects, each comprising 2 or 3 different talks. This guide contains a write up summary of each presentation from the webinars, creating a great resource of modern drug discovery knowledge. [*Disclaimer]
