National Translational Tandem Program for Gene- and Cell-based Therapies (nTTP-GCT)
As one measure of the National Strategy for Gene- and Cell-based Therapies (National Strategy GCT) the BIH Biomedical Innovation Academy (BIA) has designed and implemented a new personal funding line called the “national Translational Tandem Program for Gene- and Cell-based Therapies” (nTTP-GCT).

Early career support with impact: Two nTTP-GCT fellows demonstrate how translation can succeed
Successful publications and follow-up funding are considered key steps in a scientific career. Two fellows of the national Translational Tandem Program for Gene- and Cell-based Therapies (nTTP-GCT) have achieved exactly that within their first year of funding:
Program Heads and Program Coordinator
Dr. Nathalie Huber
- nTTP-GCT Program Head
- Head of BIH Biomedical Innovation Academy (BIA)
- Head of Clinician Scientist Office
Dr. Nathalie Huber is joint head of BIA and Head of the Clinician Scientist Office. She holds a PhD in Sociology of Science and has many years of experience in professional science management. Since 2016, she has been contributing her expertise to the empirically based conceptualisation of target group-specific instruments for academic personnel development in biomedicine. Moreover, together with her interdisciplinary team she evaluates career programs and analyses career trajectories in translational research.
Dr. Iwan Christiaan Meij
- nTTP-GCT Program Head
- Head of BIH Biomedical Innovation Academy (BIA)
- Head of BIH Application and Reporting Portal
Dr. Iwan Meij is joint head of BIA. He holds a PhD in medical sciences and molecular biology and has a long-time experience in the development of career support measures for early career biomedical researchers, including career stage specific, tailormade learning offers. Originally from the Max Delbrück Center, where among other things, he coordinated the Helmholtz PhD-Research School TransCard, he transferred to BIH in 2013 to coordinate its educational branch, which later became BIH´s Biomedical Innovation Academy.
