Job descriptionJob summaryThe Wellcome Trust has invested in an Institutional Translation Partnership Award to allow Imperial to enhance the translation of its medical technology in our ‘MEd TechOne’. Translation is at the heart of our strategy. We have created infrastructure to support life sciences opportunities with established translation models and our structures support medicine/hospital-based research to first in human for low-risk medical technologies and therapeutic solutions (i.e. the Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC), the NIHR Imperial College Bio-medical Research Centre (BRC) and the NIHR Clinical Research Network for North West London communities). Our central infrastructure supports early-stage industry agnostic ventures and entrepreneurs. With the advent of this inspiring venture, comes the need for a motivated manager/leader for the ‘MedTechCollaborative’ part of the award. The MedTechCollaborative will form connections to local and national networks of different clinical specialties. This includes coordinating evaluations of our technologies in wider clinical trials, as well as accepting devices into our medical technologies programme for support at all stages of translation, from first-in-human to early adoption. The MedTechCollaborative activities will be distributed across Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Hospitals (Charing Cross, Queen Charlottes’ and Chelsea Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital and Western Eye Hospital) benefitting from existing associated clinical translation infrastructures, the Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC), the NIHR Imperial College Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and the NIHR Clinical Research Network for North West London communities, and associated centres such as the Imperial Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC) based at the Hammersmith Campus, and Imperial College Clinical Trials Unit. The successful post holder will support the strategic priorities set out by the Steering Committee and the College and lead on essential communications between various stakeholders going forward, ensuring the alignment of aims and coordination for planning. Duties and responsibilitiesAs the Project Manager for this pioneering project, the post holder will lead the vision of the MedTechCollaborative, facilitating the wider evaluation and adoption of new medical devices within the Imperial College NHS Trust.
