Location of Cranfield University

Translational medicine involves the use of laboratory findings to find practical new ways to diagnose and treat patients, supporting programmes with the potential to improve the health of millions of people all over the world.

This desire to see a rapid progression from laboratory bench to hospital bedside brings with it huge hurdles that must be addressed and overcome - scientific, technological, commercial, ethical and regulatory.

This has created the need for a whole new range of suitably trained professionals to carry out the critical task of moving medical research closer to commercial medical technology, hence the introduction of this degree, the first of its kind in the UK.
