The University of Massachusetts Center for Clinical and Translational Science (UMCCTS), housed within the only public medical school in Massachusetts, will transform the conduct of clinical and translational research by providing an "academic home" for all university bench-to-bedside-to-population investigators. By recruiting leaders and establishing innovative research core facilities, we aim to: 1) accelerate early phase translational studies; and develop new therapies, devices, and interventions based upon UMass discoveries; 2) integrate unique networks of clinical research and healthcare delivery in Central New England and Massachusetts to build and expand clinical effectiveness research and implementation research capacity; and enhance patient and community outreach and participation in clinical/population-based research; 3) work collaboratively with all campuses and schools of the UMass system in developing programs, curricula, and faculty support systems that promote careers in clinical and translational research.
The University has established the UMass Advanced Therapeutics Cluster (UMATC), which includes the RNA Therapeutics Institute, the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, and the Gene Therapy Center. The UMATC joins the Massachusetts Biologic Laboratories, Meyers Primary Care Institute, and Commonwealth Medicine, to speed discoveries in clinical and translational research.
