The Office for Translational Research (OTR) was established in 2013 and supports researchers from the whole of the University of Cambridge and associated hospitals - Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust - in their efforts to translate findings from biological, biomedical or clinical research into practical health benefits for patients including new therapeutics, devices, diagnostics or other medical interventions.
The OTR is hosted in the School of Clinical Medicine and is partially funded from NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, the University of Cambridge’s HEIF Higher Education Innovation funding and by grants from UK research councils and industry.
