WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
In this online self-paced course, you will be introduced to the field of translational science and medicine, including:
- Target validation: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the concepts of target identification and validation and what critical questions need to be addressed during the process.
- Predictive models: Explore characteristics of predictive models, distinguishing between effectiveness, and innovative approaches to predict drug toxicity in preclinical research.
- Biomarkers: Define biomarkers’ role in personalised medicine and explore advancements in next-gen sequencing, mass spectrometry, and imaging technologies.
- Clinical trials: Master clinical trial definition, statistical considerations in design, GCP principles, and ethics and safety considerations and clinical trials.
- IP & regulatory : Understand intellectual property rights and the EMA’s role in medicine development, risk assessment, and safety monitoring from research to patient access.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Define the scope of Translational Science
- Identify the different steps that are necessary to take a new discovery from the lab bench to the patient’s bedside and back again
