Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS)

The Center for Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Kentucky (UK) is an integrated academic home to support the emerging discipline of clinical investigation and translational science. Each CCTS key function seeks to enhance pathways, partnerships and resources to confront chronic health issues facing Kentuckians, and to grow future clinical and translational science research teams.

The CCTS will enable UK to (1) fulfill its mandate to promote and improve the health and welfare of the citizens of Kentucky and its surrounding Appalachian region, and (2) provide unique insights from the region's special populations, disease burden, and rural outreach programs that are directly relevant to improvements in the health of the entire nation.
