This facilitated workshop will ask participants to explore industry's key needs and challenges, and identify how MMPathIC and the other MRC funded molecular pathology nodes can support these, with actionable outputs from the workshop.

• Who: we invite representation from industry, clinical (including pathology and lab medicine) specialities; academics and researchers (biomedical and the engineering and physical sciences); business development professionals; other stakeholders with an interest in diagnostic development. In addition to MMPathIC colleagues, we have confirmed representation from the wider molecular pathology node network and the Medical Research Council.

• Where: Citylabs, Nelson Street, Manchester M13 9NQ

• Why: only a diverse group of sector stakeholders will effectively deliver the translation of the UK's world leading stratified medicine discovery research to clinically tractable tests. Through this workshop, we will identify what industry needs and challenges are, and ask what the molecular pathology nodes can do to address these
