Partnerships with Industry
Alignment with industry in research, training and translational investments is at the heart of the MRC's strategy
and delivery plan
- we are committed to developing and sustaining close and productive partnerships with industry in the UK. All our research boards and funding panels
benefit from industry representation to ensure strong input from the private sector.
At present, we fund collaborative research with over 80 companies, ranging from large pharmaceutical companies to biosciences and healthcare companies. Notable successes include the The Division of Signal Transduction Therapy (DSTT)
(also called the Dundee Kinase Consortium) which has attracted £10.8 million in joint funding from five of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies and the Centre for Drug Safety Science
which currently collaborates with six different industrial partners on non-competitive projects with the aim to ultimately produce safer drugs for patients.
