A new definitive information resource on UK experimental medicine research is launched today. The UKCRC Experimental Medicine Resources website provides, for the first time, a central information repository on the UK’s capability and expertise in experimental medicine and early phase clinical trials.

The resource acts as an optimum entry point for industry and academic investigators seeking information about experimental medicine facilities in the UK. It contains up-to-date information on available expertise, resources, techniques and technologies in experimental medicine. It will play a vital role in facilitating links between experimental medicine investigators, basic scientists, trialists, and industry and should really help to drive innovative ideas from the laboratory to the hospital clinic.

Detailed information on over 40 major UK experimental medicine facilities can be accessed through the website. Site users can search for facilities by location, health or disease research topic, or skills and equipment available. The website also includes the latest news, events and information on experimental medicine in the UK.

The resource was developed by the UK Clinical Research Network on behalf of the UK Clinical Research Collaboration. It builds on investments by the UKCRC Partners totalling over £200 million in experimental medicine research and facilities over recent years.
