The Milner Therapeutics Institute Description
The Milner Therapeutics Institute is dedicated to the conversion of basic science into therapies. Its mission is to accelerate academic research towards medical advancement by forging close collaborative interactions with industry. The Institute represents a new paradigm, where the intellectual know-how of entire academic institutions can be allied with the drug-developing capacity of the pharmaceutical industry, to deliver better therapies for patients.
Based in the new Capella building currently under construction on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the aim of the Institute is to increase mechanistic understanding of how drugs work and catalyse the transfer of ideas, knowledge and technologies between academia and industry. The Institute will house independent research groups focusing on therapeutic aspects of cancer and other diseases and also communally accessible facilities, such as robotics and bioinformatics, for researchers throughout Cambridge.
The building of the Institute has been made possible by a donation from Dr Jonathan Milner and the University of Cambridge. It will be directed by Professor Tony Kouzarides. The Capella building is expected to be complete by Spring 2018.
The outreach program of the Institute is delivered through the Milner Therapeutics Consortium, an industry /academia partnership hosted by the Institute, which is already engaged in collaborative projects Cambridge-wide.

The #Capella Topping-Out Ceremony was held on Friday, and here you can Cambridge University Vice-Chancellor Leszek Borysiewicz trowelling over the final concrete pour.
Our Institute will have research laboratories within the Capella Building, which is on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. The laboratories will be operational in 2018 and will house research groups from the Cambridge research community. A research facility will also be established, accessible to the wider research community as part of the outreach programme. The facility is envisaged to house robotics for customised drug screening as well as gene editing and bioinformatics support.
Exciting times ahead!
