Officially launching 16 November 2026!
The Pre-clinical Translational Models Hub is a new project led by CSCI to transform the development and testing of new medicines by advancing the use of human-based models and artificial intelligence (AI).
Over the next 3 ½ years, the Hub will unite with hospitals, research institutes, and industry partners across the UK to establish a national network dedicated to developing, validating and accelerating the adoption of next-generation preclinical models.
