C-Path and EATRIS Join Forces with New Collaboration Agreement

Published 18 September 2023

C-Path (Critical Path Institute) and EATRIS (the European Research Infrastructure for Translational Medicine) are pleased to announce the signing of a collaboration agreement aimed at fostering actionable scientific and educational cooperation. This agreement marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of patient-centric innovation and the advancement of translational medicine research.

Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, C-Path and EATRIS have outlined several key objectives that will drive their joint efforts. These include the facilitation of data sharing, and the development of data science and regulatory science best practices to improve translational medicine processes. Both organisations will collaborate on scientific and professional activities, jointly organise workshops and courses and provide opportunities for scientists to collaborate on specific projects.

Anton Ussi, EATRIS Operations and Finance Director, expressed his enthusiasm about the agreement, “Having the opportunity to work closely with C-Path is very exciting; our shared passion for people-centric science is an ideal starting point. We have so much to do in the battle for better patient outcomes and are looking forward to getting started together.”

The collaboration between C-Path and EATRIS brings together their collective knowledge, resources and dedication to driving scientific advancements in translational medicine. By combining their expertise, the two organisations aim to accelerate the development of innovative treatments and improve patient outcomes.

Cecile Ollivier, C-Path Managing Director for Europe, emphasised the importance of addressing the pressing challenges in medicines development early in the process, “When translational science and regulatory science work together it can lead to drug development trials that can quickly yield more effective, affordable and safe medical products for patients. Together, C-Path and EATRIS can overcome technical and operational gaps across the drug development lifecycle.”
