Translational Institute of Medicine (TIME)

The Translational Institute of Medicine (TIME) is a virtual institute based in the Department of Medicine at Queen’s University. Its mission to enhance collaboration and optimize access to research platforms, expertise, and training for its formalized network is through the following:

    • Operationalizing research platforms such as QCPU & GIDRU by funding operator/scientist positions as highly qualified personnel with technical skills to run advanced equipment

    • Facilitating interdisciplinary research meetings, seminars, and training opportunities for its members

    • A web-based research networking software, TIME – Discovery Research Network where members easily identify required equipment and expertise to compete at the highest level

    • The Translational Medicine (TMED) graduate program

    • Providing stimulus via TIME Incubator grants and by leading reviews of external multidisciplinary funding applications

  • Partnerships
  • Student Opportunities

TIME Groups and Partners within the network

Within the context of TIME, the Department of Medicine offers two unique programs: MSc and PhD in Translational Medicine. They are the first research-based graduate programs focused on translational medicine at both the master’s and doctoral levels in Canada. The programs are entirely unique by offering a curriculum interweaving graduate level research with authentic clinical experiences, such as patient interactions, clinical observerships, and medical rounds, in a multidisciplinary environment across departments at Queen’s.

This unique curriculum will offer important foundation work for future careers in the biomedical field, and will provide critical skills for pursuing careers that include clinician scientists, biomedical researchers, leaders in industry, and public health and health policy.
