Translational Biomedical Research and Diagnostics
Translational medicine lies at the interface between basic research (understand the mechanisms of disease development) and pre and clinical research, aiming to assess the efficiency and safety of new treatments for patients. This collaborative discipline is essential to translating scientific discoveries into new diagnostics tools and treatments that improve patient health/care. The module intends to provide students with an advanced knowledge of the technologies and approaches used in translational medical science, in particular in the fields of precision medicine and diagnostics; and an understanding of key preclinical and clinical science principles underpinning prevention, diagnosis and stratification of disease.
The module will provide advanced knowledge of cutting-edge scientific techniques and their applications, and the understanding of the ethical concepts and regulations essential for translational medical research.
