Are you a biomedical researcher who wants to explore how your work can be turned into patient benefit; or do you want to learn more about the process of medicinal product development and the career prospects available in the field? This course explains how translation of biomedical discoveries into products that provide patient benefit requires a truly multidisciplinary effort.
HOW DOES THE COURSE WORK?
Translational Medicine Explained (TMex) is an interactive 4-day course focused on how research can be successfully translated from the laboratory to the clinic. You will learn from real-life scenarios presented by experts in the field, and group assignments about the elements needed for successfully translating biomedical research into patient benefit. Before attending the 4-day course, an 8-hour e-learning course will equip you with the essential knowledge to make the most of the course.
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
Designed for early-career researchers (e.g. late-stage PhD students, early postdoctoral and medical students in academia and/or industry), TMex provides skills and knowledge directly applicable to your research, along with professional development opportunities (e.g. networking and development of teamwork skills) and exposure to a variety of career opportunities available in translational medicine.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Covering topics as diverse as target validation, patient engagement and entrepreneurship, the course will meet the following learning objectives, where participants attending the course will be able to:
- Describe the key steps and questions to be addressed when translating scientific discoveries into medical products;
- Define the different stakeholders and multidisciplinary experts involved in translation and the importance of strong partnerships;
- Recognise the importance of collaborating with patients and demonstrate strategies for engagement;
- Examine key translational medicine bottlenecks and opportunities.
