LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – A $33.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will help University of Kentucky researchers improve how medical discoveries are translated into patient care, including through a hepatitis C study in four rural counties.
The Clinical and Translational Science Award supports the UK Center for Clinical and Translational Science, or CCTS. Rather than focusing on a single disease or condition, the center works to improve research methods and address complex health challenges.
“Our focus is on making research work better, improving the science of doing science. So we can turn discoveries into improved care and public health faster and with greater impact,” said Katherine Hatmann, the center’s director. “By innovating translational methods and providing the resources and services UK investigators need, we help deliver results that measurably improve health and preventive care across the Commonwealth, the region, and the nation.”…
