Commentary Promoting the Purpose of Academic Department Research the Establishment of a Translational Medicine Center

However, the function of a multidisciplinary center within the framework of a single academic department has received little attention. The Center for Translational Medicine was established in 2003 by Jefferson Medical College's Department of Medicine in order to create a program of excellence in research, link basic research with clinical research programs, improve trainee education, maximize space and resources, and facilitates multidisciplinary research. In this section, we demonstrate the Centre’s success and describe its structure. The Centre’s development has resulted in an increase in total funding, an increase in the number of students and residents conducting translational research, a more efficient use of space, the creation of multidisciplinary research projects, and a significant increase in the number of individual and programmatic grants funded by the federal government. The department and the university have benefited significantly from the Centre’s establishment, despite its challenges.
