New lung disease network to benefit patients and boost UK economy
Scientists and clinicians in Nottingham are to work more closely with industry to develop new ways of diagnosing and treating lung disease.
Nottingham has been chosen as one of just nine centres across the UK to host a Government-spearheaded ‘Therapeutic Capability Cluster’, which aims to forge closer links between academia, the NHS and the life sciences industry to speed up the process of getting new drugs from lab bench to bedside.
The new cluster will draw on the world-leading research expertise of scientists at The University of Nottingham and clinical excellence of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust to help pharmaceutical companies develop clinical trials for potential new treatments for a range of respiratory diseases.
