The MIT SRP has a team of Translational Consultants who can help with navigating the process of translating basic research from results at the bench to results that impact human health.

Translational Consultants provide advice for a furthering translation of a project at any stage, as well as providing connections to researchers in our community who may be interested in helping or collaborating. Catherine Ricciardi is the lead person for human subjects and can either assist directly or provide referrals.

Translational Consultants can help with every stage of your project:

Study Design
Regulatory Assistance
Identification of Potential Collaborators
Operationalizing your Protocol
Assessment of Environmental Health Impact
