Institute of Translational Health Science
Institute of Transitional Health

The Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) is a multi- and inter-disciplinary "collaboratory" funded by the National Institutes of Health to advance translational research. Translational research means taking medical discoveries from the laboratory into the clinic and out into the community. The goal of the ITHS is focused on making a positive impact on human health locally and globally. To achieve this goal requires collaboration between many groups; academia, industry, non profit agencies, government, and most importantly the community. Any researcher or individual interested in translational research from any group is invited to become a member of the ITHS.

The ITHS is a dynamic and interactive organization with a mission to create, enable, and sustain innovative translational research and research collaborations across disciplines and professions which will accelerate the development of concepts and tangible products that will improve human health.

Please take the time to visit our website and learn more about the Institute of Translational Health Science (ITHS). 
If our mission and resources interest you-please consider becoming a member TODAY!
