Our research themes

The CPMR is the first UK research centre to focus on the translation of scientific discoveries into technologies and approaches that expedite drug development. It is distinct from other ‘translational’ initiatives that focus on the translation of new scientific discoveries into new therapeutic approaches. CPMR collaborates with the pharmaceutical industry and medicine regulators to apply research to modify current practices and culture within the industry.
