Partnerships

We bring together a strong and internationally competitive consortium of partners with expertise in experimental medicine and related methodological support. This enables us to establish a robust platform for the delivery of “first-in-child” studies directed at novel therapeutic targets.

EATC4Children has multiple partnerships including charities, industry, NHS trusts and philanthropic. These collaborations aim to maximise the impact of our research across the “life course” of our disease priority areas.

A “life course” approach to health aims to ensure people's well-being at all ages by addressing people's needs, ensuring access to health services, and safeguarding the human right to health throughout their life time.
