Initiative on Translational Research in Human Health
 This initiative will strengthen the ability of the University of Minnesota to continue to play a leading role in the rapidly changing world of health sciences.
The working group for this initiative will collaborate with working groups from the other bioscience/health science based initiatives in an effort to solidify the University’s commitment and reach.
Three key components of this initiative are:
- Translational Research Facility, which will provide scientists with a physical environment that promotes collaboration, fosters creativity, promotes innovation, and shortens the time it takes to develop new technologies.
-
The Minnesota Partnership for Biotechnology and Medical Genomics, which will bring together Mayo and University researchers to collaborate on projects that can be translated into innovations that promote human health; and
-
targeted investments in faculty to maintain leadership in cutting-edge research in areas such as oncology (cancer), neurosciences (brain functions and diseases), cardiovascular (heart) disease, organ transplantation, applications of stem cell development, and clinical research.
