Personalised medicine is the next generation of medicine and healthcare. It aims to improve the management of a patient’s health and to target therapies to achieve the best outcomes in the management of a patient’s condition, their predisposition to disease and their prognosis. Personalised healthcare takes a multi-omics approach (one which incorporates data from a range of different sources, including genomic and epigenomic) directed at the development of novel therapies.
This programme supports the training of our next generation of scientists to translate their knowledge in the field using genomic tools and therapeutic insights for clinical benefit.
The content includes a focused set of core modules specialising in all aspects of personalised medicine and clinical translation, including Genomics and applications, computational biology, statistics and the regulatory aspects of novel therapies such as clinical trial design and drug development. Optional modules allow you to explore the applications and scope of personalised medicine, including applications, entrepreneurship and pharmacometrics. You are given opportunities to develop analytic skills during the programme before undertaking your independent research project.
Who this course is for
This programme is designed for scientists (or those with a strong interest in the field) wishing to pursue a career in the rapidly developing field of personalised medicine. It is also suitable for medical practitioners, pharmacists and those with an interest in ethics and law who would like to develop their knowledge in this distinct area, with a view to contributing to research and clinical trials in the field.
