Translational Technology Platforms

The Translational Technology Platforms (TTPs) provide scientific infrastructure for cutting edge basic, translational and clinical cancer services to support cancer researchers at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø.

TheÌýTranslational Technology Platforms (TTPs) are underpinned by funding from the CRUK City of London Centre infrastructure grant and the Cancer Institute.ÌýAs funding for the TTPsÌýcomes predominantly from the CRUK City of LondonÌýCentre award, the CRUK CoL Centre is responsible for the overarching governance for all CI TTPs. The TTPs are open to CRUK CoL Centre membersÌýto support the Centre’s research programme. Funding for the TTPs also comes from the Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC), National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Hospitals Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and the Medical Research Council (MRC).

If you have any comments or queries regarding the CI Translational Technology Platforms please contact us at: ci.ttpfeedback@ucl.ac.uk or come along to one of our drop-in clinics.

CI Translational Technology Platforms (TTPs) User Drop in Clinics are scheduled twice a year (see below upcoming dates). These clinics are open to all TTP users and provide a forum for users to meet the TTP staff, ask questions about services/equipment offered, ask for advice on experimental design, and provide feedback on the TTPs.ÌýThe clinics will be attended by the TTP Manager/staff member and a CRUK Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Centre representative with the aim of providing support for users through direct interaction with staff.

The next Drop in Clinic for each platform is:
