The Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute building will accelerate the translation of science into health care, of ideas into cures. Based on the idea that solving today\'s complex medical challenges requires an innovative approach, the facility will bring together scientists and clinicians from across disciplines to speed the delivery of new technologies, drugs and procedures to patients here in San Diego and around the world. The Altman CTRI is scheduled to open in 2016. http://ctri.ucsd.edu/Pages/default.aspx
