GSK’s Immunology Catalyst is an innovative opportunity for academic researchers to pursue their independent research whilst on sabbatical in a major pharmaceutical company. By inviting academic scientists to work alongside top industry scientists at their site in Stevenage, GSK intend to stimulate scientific conversations, foster new collaborations, and catalyse breakthroughs in immunology.

The Catalyst supports selected academic researchers with access to the company’s research tools and equipment, drug discovery experts, and financial support. This provides researchers experience of working in industry, whilst they remain employed by their university and are encouraged to continue publishing their work.

Interaction between Catalyst members and GSK scientists is key. Catalyst scientists are hosted in existing GSK laboratories with aligned research, scattering them throughout the company.

Catalyst members are invited to GSK seminars and project meetings where their alternative perspective is welcomed. By participating in scientific and strategic discussions the academic researchers deepen their knowledge of drug discovery and translational research and set the foundations for long-term collaborative relationships.

Gillian and Emma will talk more about the Immunology Catalyst programme and the areas of focus in 2021 onwards. They will also cover how to apply to the programme.
