Translational Medicine Alliance Ireland (TMAI) is a new initiative organised as a decentralised collaborative network of 10 Irish Universities with specialised centres in the fields of advanced therapy medicinal products, biomarkers, imaging and tracing, small molecules and vaccines. The establishment of TMAI will catalyse the development of productive translational research collaborations under one umbrella to maximise the exploitation of complementary strengths and drive clinical innovations. A major focus of TMAI is to enhance participation for researchers, clinicians and industry in EU funding initiatives by formally linking with EATRIS, which is the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) for translational medicine. EATRIS offers a broad range of research services for both academia and industry through its 144+ top-tier academic centres across Europe, facilitating academic collaborations with industry and forming consortia to target EU funding opportunities amongst its many other training services and supports.
