Mission Statement and Overall Goals

The mission of the Center for Translational Medicine is to provide a comprehensive portfolio of services that will augment the development and implementation of novel, investigator-initiated treatment strategies in order to achieve new breakthroughs in medicine at the University of Minnesota.

The Center will solicit and evaluate promising research leads, identify necessary resources and provide expertise for the preclinical evaluation and testing of novel reagents, GMP manufacture of clinical products, and IND/IDE development, as well as assist in the product testing in patients.

A key objective of the Center is to support the strategic plan of the Academic Health Center with focused efforts in line with the newly identified University of Minnesota Research Corridors and local industry.
