ATRIS, the European Infrastructure for Translational Medicine, is an EU-funded program that facilitates scientific collaboration amongst public institutions from 14 member states.

Its scientific director, Dr. Toni Andreu, explains how the organization coordinates a network that helps European researchers access public facilities in other countries. A former general director of Spain’s Carlos III Institute of Health, Dr. Andreu reveals why EATRIS remains disease agnostic, working with 140 affiliated public research institutions, all of them public institutions that work in the field of translational medicine.
