The Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC) is a new, national centre of applied research and development (R&D) expertise set up to enable innovative, “fast-to-patient” precision medicine discovery approaches in the UK.
It will enable and participate in collaborative R&D projects with its community of biotech, pharma companies, charities, service providers, technologists, clinicians and translational researchers.
It is one of a network of elite, not-for-profit technology and innovation centres established by Innovate UK, as a long-term investment in the UK’s industrial capability.
MDC will work in partnerships to develop new approaches for the discovery and early development of medicines – helping to transform ideas into commercial products for the wider wealth and health
of the sector.
