EDITORIAL By Dr. Richard Davis Senior Business Analyst, Technology Transfer Division Fundamental research findings are often considered ‘too early’ or ‘too high-risk’ to be pursued by the corporate healthcare or investment sectors. Technology Transfer at the Wellcome Trust helps to translate early stage technologies by funding applied research projects to help realise their potential in healthcare. To achieve this, the Technology Transfer runs two funds for applied research projects where there is a need in healthcare, a potential new solution and a realistic expectation that the innovation will be developed further by the market.
