Faculty in Focus

The King’s vision is to make the world a better place through excellence in teaching, research and service to society. Our themed Faculty campaigns showcase different ways we are working to achieve that vision, on a local and global scale.


Supporting Translational Medicine

The Centre for Translational Medicine is a collaboration between King’s and the three NHS Foundation Trusts that are also part of  King’s Health Partners. The Centre aims to speed up the time it takes for promising scientific breakthroughs in the lab to be translated into new ways of diagnosing conditions, new medical technologies and new treatments to improve patient care and outcomes. In this campaign, we go behind the scenes of the CTM and share some of the incredible research it is helping to fund.
