about
A Global Catalyst for Translational Medicine
Not a university. Not a funder. Eureka is the trusted global network strengthening the human edge of translational medicine, equipping cross-sector professionals to carry breakthroughs through the fragile middle, from discovery toward implementation.
Vision
A world where breakthroughs do not stall between systems, and reach patients faster and more effectively.
Mission
To develop cross sector talent and decision readiness in translational medicine through trusted experiential learning environments that build fluency across science, medicine, regulation, industry, and investment, guided by passion and enabled by technology.
Strategy
We focus on the space where translational medicine most often slows down, when science is ready but systems are not.
Build translational fluency
Experiential programs that train professionals to work across science, medicine, regulation, industry, and investment when decisions are complex and timelines are real.

Principles That Support Cross-Sector Translational Medicine
Diversity
We bring together disciplines, cultures, lived experiences as breakthroughs fail when perspective is too narrow.

The founding vision
2008
Berent Prakken and Salvatore Albani convened translational medicine leaders to address the training gap. As a result, the Eureka Institute was incorporated in Italy as a not-for-profit organization.

Testimonials
Eurekians worldwide
"You can think of translational medicine as a carousel, with the patient at the centre. Many different people come in — from clinicians to regulators to investors — each contributing their part. And when it works, it doesn’t just help patients, it creates value for society as a whole."
Program Participant
“The Eureka MCC experience broadened my view of the translational medicine landscape. It was especially encouraging to see how communication and leadership are developed as participants learn to engage diverse stakeholders across the continuum.”
