UCL FESR 2022: Highlighting translational research support and internal funding success stories

In this event, the UCL Translational Research Office will highlight some of the support available through UCL’s Translational Ecosystem, including training and funding opportunities available exclusively to UCL Early Stage Researchers. There will also be talks from 3 early career speakers who received pilot data funding for their translational projects through the UCL Therapeutic Innovation Networks. They will highlight their project success and the support gained from UCL to achieve this.
