About the European Society for Translational Medicine (EUSTM)
The European Society for Translational Medicine (EUSTM) is a neutral global healthcare organization whose primary goal is to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into health benefits for patients.
Mission
EUSTM is dedicated to simplifying and enhancing the journey of medical innovations from the laboratory to clinical application. The Society connects and facilitates interaction among stakeholders in biomedical research, clinical practice, and healthcare policy, creating a robust ecosystem that speeds research breakthroughs into tangible medical solutions. It focuses on specific therapeutic areas (TAs) designated by EUSTM, with a constant emphasis on a patient-centered approach, ensuring that all medical advancements are closely aligned with patient needs.
Vision
EUSTM envisions a future where the time between scientific discovery and clinical application is drastically reduced. International collaboration and interdisciplinary teamwork are positioned as standard practice, ensuring that “bench-to-bedside” becomes an integral process. The ultimate goal is a world where every patient benefits from the latest scientific progress, thus improving global health.
