Translational Healthcare Technologies
THT embraces a culture that is “people and team first” across disciplines to clinically and commercially translate scientific innovations for human healthcare benefit.
Our culture of friendship and support is key to our values and interactions with all our collaborators and partners.
The Team
The team, based within the Centre for Inflammation Research at the University Edinburgh, has affiliated group members from other leading UK Universities and UoE/NHS departments.
The Challenge
We fuse scientific discovery with clinical translation and challenge current human discovery, diagnostic and therapeutic pathways.

Pre-Clinical Research
A major thrust of our work has been to develop novel and cutting edge tools to delineate pathophysiology and deliver drugs/therapies to the distal lung. This programmatic work brings together a range of disciplines and translational programmes
Clinical Research
The THT grouping are leading multiple clinical studies (observational and early phases) in the field of experimental medicine. These studies aim to progress immunoinflammatory modulation and bedside interventional experimental medicine.
Healthcare Technology Accelerator Facility
The Healthcare Technology Accelerator Facility (HTAF) in THT is crucially important for current and future commercialisation activities.
