Innovate UK is investing up to £1 million to establish new Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) for stratified medicine.

This funding competition will help businesses access data modelling expertise in universities. This will enable the businesses to develop new diagnostic approaches and evaluate diagnostic products earlier.
