The Clinical and Translational Research Institute facilitates research into human health and disease and clinical trial activity at UC San Diego. Part of the elite NIH-funded Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Consortium, the Institute provides and supports education and the translation of fundamental biology into novel therapeutic interventions. Through these activities, the development of new innovative therapies will be streamlined and our patients will have early access to groundbreaking therapy.
