The Future Medicines Institute (FMI) is a new industry-led research hub for Life and Health Sciences in Northern Ireland, hosted by Queen’s University Belfast (QUB). A consortium of companies, along with both QUB and Ulster University, have developed a model to create this new translational research unit. The FMI will drive collaboration, cluster development and engagement, enhancing research and development opportunities for commercial and academic partners.
This multi-million-pound investment in new research infrastructure and research personnel is the first of its kind in NI. The FMI will house over 50 QUB and partner staff and be located adjacent to the Patrick J Johnston Centre for Cancer Research, the Wellcome Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine and the School of Pharmacy at QUB. It will be funded by the Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland, for an initial 5 years, and managed as a UKRI Strengths in Places Fund project as part of the existing UKRI Strength in Places Fund programme. The ambition is to grow and develop the FMI to achieve long term sustainability. It will work collaboratively with other regional investments such as our new clinical research facility iREACH, data science hub Momentum 1.0, the Centre for Digital Healthcare Technologies (CDHT) and the Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre (AICC). Collectively, these investments will transform the capabilities and competitiveness of the NI Life and Health Sciences sector here in NI, mapping and collaborating with other clusters in UK and Ireland.
The FMI Finance Coordinator will be responsible for the financial co-ordination, administration and budgetary aspects of the UKRI FMI award and any future grants awarded to the Institute.
