The Centre for Translational Medicine brings together the organisations of King’s Health Partners to create a high impact and sustainable translational research ecosystem. 

It brings together partners, industry, and charities and coordinates NIHR infrastructure to deliver measurable benefits for patients, researchers and the wider health system.

PPIE is a foundation of the centre with public members informing decision making.

The Centre for Translational Medicine aims to: 

  • address the major health burdens for local, national and global communities – and to challenge existing health inequalities;  
  • combine our outstanding clinical and scientific expertise to deliver excellent outcomes for patients;   
  • develop the next generation of clinical-academic leaders, skilled in delivering impactful translational biomedical research.

Our impact

Thanks to generous funding from the Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity, King’s College London, and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust - together we have:  

  • Generated more than 590 publications in a single year and supported practice changing studies, including major clinical trials and AI enabled diagnostics that are already influencing care. 
  • Delivered strong return on investment with over £83 million secured to expand research and innovation across the partnership. 
  • Improved outcomes for patients, contributing to regulatory decisions, new treatments, and clinical tools - as well as supporting spinouts and technologies now being adopted in healthcare settings. 
  • Strengthened the clinical academic workforce, with high progression rates into further funding and a diverse pipeline of researchers, including under represented professional groups. 
  • Embedded health equity and community partnership into research - ensuring studies are co designed with patients and communities and better reflect real world populations and needs.
