12th Annual Meeting DIA Japan 2015

The National Center for Translational Sciences (NCATS) is one of the 27 centers affiliated with the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). It was established in 2012 with the aim of accelerating the process of translational research, and becoming able to deliver new treatment methods to patients as quickly as possible. From the past measures carried out by NCATS and NIH, as well as among corporations, patients and NCATS, Dr. Austin will consider what obstacles exist in translational research, and what the tasks and challenges are, thereby showing a bridgehead for AMED’s future activities.
