Academic & Clinical Partners
The DEVOTE Programme has established eight expertise domains, each representing a distinct area of knowledge essential to the successful translation of genomic technologies.
By bringing together specialists from across these domains, the programme is able to draw on a diverse range of perspectives and approaches to tackle the complex challenges involved in moving genomic diagnostics from laboratory research into routine clinical use.
Genomics
The genomics domain provides deep expertise in genomic medicine and laboratory science. Team members bring extensive experience in the development and validation of technologies that have been successfully implemented within the NHS and are used routinely in clinical settings.
Health Economics
Health economists work alongside industry partners to evaluate the economic implications of genomics-based interventions. Their analysis ensures that emerging technologies are both financially sustainable and designed to meet the practical requirements of end users across the healthcare system.
Implementation Science
Implementation science experts provide industry partners with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the complex process of bringing new genomics-based interventions to market, from regulatory compliance and clinical trial design through to real-world deployment and beyond.
Health Informatics
The health informatics team leverages the power of big data and advanced analytics to help industry partners translate genomic insights into real-world clinical practice, supporting more effective and efficient patient care. Working within the NHS informatic landscape, the team ensures genomic data can be accessed across the healthcare ecosystem.
Material Sciences
With deep knowledge of material sciences, academic partners collaborate with industry to develop new technologies and approaches that support genomics-based interventions, with a specific focus on advanced sensing tools and novel materials for diagnostic platforms.
Genome Editing
The team possesses significant expertise in genome editing technologies and supports industry partners in navigating this rapidly evolving field. Leveraging CRISPR-based systems and related approaches, the domain contributes to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
User-Centred Design
Ensuring that new diagnostic tools are practical and intuitive for clinicians and patients alike, the user-centred design domain focuses on usability, accessibility, and the human factors that determine whether a technology succeeds in real-world clinical environments.
Regulatory, Quality Assurance & Governance
The regulatory domain ensures that all DEVOTE projects meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance. This includes the creation of external quality assessment schemes for pharmacogenetics and point-of-care systems, filling a gap where quality assurance mechanisms for genomic point-of-care testing do not yet exist.
