Strategic Delivery Group, ION-DRI Programme听
Professor Linda Greensmith is the Head of the IoN Research Department of听Neuromuscular Diseases and sits on the strategic delivery group as the academic BSU Lead.听
The strategic delivery group is made up of representatives from 果冻影院 Queen Square Institute of Neurology, the Dementia Research Institute and the National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery, 果冻影院H and they meet monthly to discuss how the new building is being designed to ensure it meets their needs and how it will need to operate once opened.听
鈥淚鈥檝e been part of the strategic delivery group since 2017 and have been involved in the idea of creating a translational neuroscience centre since the very beginning 鈥� over ten years ago.
鈥淲e meet every month to look at the project in detail and make decisions on what will and won鈥檛 work, including things like the design of the physical space and the development of all the facilities, services and support across the dual hub - the new building at 256 Grays Inn Road and Queen Square.
鈥淐urrently we are looking at space planning within the building to ensure teams can fit into the space and have what they need to operate their labs. We are also reviewing a number of pilots that are underway looking at asset management and booking of equipment, vending, specialist chemical and sample processing.
听
This is a really useful and practical meeting and the group is really important to help the project stay realistic, on track and to ensure that in constructing the new building we don鈥檛 forget its intended purpose. We鈥檙e all united in our determination and enthusiasm to realise the vision of a cohesive and collaborative translational neuroscience centre, but at the same time, we鈥檙e pragmatic and understand the day to day practicalities of working in a lab.鈥�
