 WE PROCEED At the heart of every breakthrough lies a moment of bold imagination—a spark that transforms curiosity into purpose. Birthing the Idea was a pivotal moment when a question became a mission, and a vision began. Center for Translational Biomedical Research was founded on this transformative principle: that innovative thinking, grounded in scientific rigor, can lead to discoveries that meaningfully impact health. What started as a simple idea in the mind of Dr. Thomas K. Karikari and his team can grow into a collaborative pursuit, fueled by multidisciplinary expertise, state-of-the-art technology, and an unwavering commitment to impact. This is where ideas are nurtured, refined, and empowered to evolve from concept to tangible solutions with the potential to change lives. Center for Translational Biomedical Research is a fully registered and accredited institution, established in accordance with all regulatory and governmental requirements governing scientific and health-related research of the Republic of Ghana. Our registration affirms our commitment to operating with integrity, accountability, and transparency as we advance biomedical discovery and innovation. It ensures that our facility, practices, and governance structures meet the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct. As a recognized research institution, we adhere to rigorous compliance frameworks that safeguard the quality of our work, the safety of our partners, and the trust of the communities we serve. This formal recognition strengthens our mission and enables us to collaborate confidently with national and international organizations dedicated to improving human health. Implementation is where vision becomes action and discovery becomes impact. At the Center for Translational Biomedical Research, we recognize that brilliant ideas alone are not enough—they must be expertly executed, rigorously tested, and faithfully translated into real-world benefit. This is where discipline bridges innovation and outcome, where our interdisciplinary team turns scientific insight into measurable progress. Through thoughtful planning, advanced technologies, and a commitment to excellence, we ensure that every idea entrusted to us moves with purpose toward improving human health. Precision Research is the cornerstone of our mission—an approach that honors the uniqueness of every individual while striving for breakthroughs that elevate health for all. At the Center for Translational Biomedical Research, we move beyond generalized discovery to pursue science that is deeply informed, data-driven, and person-specific. By integrating advanced molecular profiling, state-of-the-art analytics, and clinically relevant insights, we uncover the subtle biological patterns that shape disease risk, treatment response, and long-term outcomes. Precision Research transforms complexity into clarity, enabling interventions that are not just effective but tailored, timely, and impactful. Through this commitment, we bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and human need, ensuring that our discoveries translate into solutions that are as nuanced and diverse as the people we serve.
Alzheimer's Risk Detection
Identify Alzheimer's risk earlier with a simple blood test
Your heart health in your 40s and 50s is a powerful predictor of your brain health in your 70s and 80s. Managing blood pressure and cholesterol isn't just about your heart—it's an investment in your future cognitive clarity.
