The BRIDGE – Translational Excellence Programme provides fellows with the ability to translate insights from basic research into the clinical sciences and/or the life science industry, and vice versa, and the competences to manage essential collaboration between disciplines.
BRIDGE will provide you with training and education in the translational field and a clear career path within translational research. Especially for medical doctors, participation in the programme provides a gateway to a career within research.
The 15 courses of the compulsory academic curriculum, covers the translational stages T0 (Population/clinic to lab feedback, Disease modelling -omic studies, Basic research), T1 (Biomarker discovery, Target development, Pre-clinical development) and border to early T2 (First in human, Phase 1 clinical trials, Phase 2 clinical trials, Phase 2b clinical trials). The academic curriculum provides a unique opportunity of education in translational medicine and soft skills such as project management and media skills, and allows for site-visits and networking with experts in the field.

Previous and current fellows say
The BRIDGE fellowship helped me to think about my research with a long-term view. As a result, I spend more time thinking of how my work could be useful in the clinic or lead to a new therapy for mental disorders.
During my BRIDGE fellowship I have completed 16 courses, published 10 papers, obtained ≈DKK 14M in grants for my own and collaborative projects, and most importantly met this amazing group of like-minded fellows. Best thing I have done in my career!
I chose BRIDGE as a translational steppingstone for my research that has given me the availability, know-how and network to build upon scientific methods that we are already using and thereby boosting the quality and translational nature of our research.
