New web-based resource signposts UK experimental medicine
expertise
16 January 2008
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.
