 In order to maximise the impact of our work on human health, the Institute of Genetics and Cancer aims, where appropriate, to:

  • Support wide dissemination of scientific discoveries through open access publishing and data sharing
  • Promote a culture of translation at the Institute supported by appropriate events and training
  • Collaborate with industrial and NHS partners
  • Identify, develop and, where appropriate, partner scientific discovery with potential for translation
  • License our intellectual property in an exclusive or non-exclusive manner
  • Form spin out companies
