The ITM has benefited from significant investment to create a dedicated centre of excellence for translational medicine, with on-site state-of-the-art conference facilities and laboratories, and access to additional facilities on the University of Birmingham campus and the Birmingham Health Partners which are located close by.
In addition, the ITM also houses Devices and Simulation, Commercialisation and Business Engagement Partners hubs, and we also offer a conference centre, with meeting rooms, write-up rooms, silence rooms and casual meeting spaces.
The following research centres are also located within the ITM:
Birmingham Tissue Analytics, offering infrastructure and support for deep immunophenotyping and digital histology including high dimensional antibody imaging digital spatial transcriptomics and CyTOF, plus bespoke cell culture and other facilities to conduct high-quality tissue and organoid-based stratification in the context of clinical trials and academic studies. Led by Dr Andrew Filer.
