The Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is an academic hub for accelerating the translation and implementation of scientific discoveries into health benefits for patients and communities.
Building on efforts begun in 2006 by the Duke Translational Medicine Institute, the CTSI will focus on leveraging the vast research resources at Duke University and facilitating collaborations that provide or enhance the infrastructure, education and resources needed to take promising ideas from concept, through development and testing and into patient care. The Institute will encompass faculty and staff along the entire spectrum of translational science – from early research in the laboratory, through clinical trials in humans to the successful implementation of new ideas in clinical and community settings.
