Medical Biotechnology

Students will learn across the two years of study how to convert key research from biomedical and medical researchers into specific applications related to pharmaceutical innovation, disease control, and ameliorating the effects of aging or disability. This will be reinforced through robust training in bioethics, biosafety, and the regulatory processes required to bring medical biotechnology products to market.

• Bioengineering and tissue engineering
• Stem cells and Regenerative medicine
• Drug discovery, biopharmaceutical development associated regulatory and IP issues
• Immunology, pathophysiology and personalised medicine
• Clinical trial and associated regulatory procedures
• Development and design of PoC devices
• Anti-microbial resistance (AMR) avoidance and mitigation
