Modules

Compulsory modules

Case studies from industry will be used to discuss and illustrate the concepts in many of these modules.

Cell and Gene Therapies

Explore the latest developments in cell and gene therapies, such as stem cells, mRNA-based medicines, gene therapy and gene editing technologies, biomaterials and tissue engineering, CAR-T cells for cancer treatment and cancer vaccine development.

Precision Medicine

Examine how developments in genomics and multiomics technologies have changed our understanding of disease and allowed a more patient-focused approach to treatment. Learn about the role of biomarkers in precision medicine, the role of genomic information in predicting drug response (pharmacogenomics), and about targeted treatments such as small molecule signal transduction inhibitors and antibody-based therapies.

Introduction to Medical Technologies

Study the development and use of medical technologies in healthcare, from diagnostics to treatment. Learn how medical technologies are designed and developed, how they are used in drug delivery, rehabilitation and assistive technology, and how disease progression can be monitored with medical sensors and wearable devices.
