Summer School: Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products and Regenerative Medicine based Therapies - University of Birmingham,

Taking concepts from the laboratory through preclinical evaluation and on to clinical trials, this module will cover how interdisciplinary researchers are advancing regenerative medicine technologies. Areas covered within the module will include personalised medicines, cell therapies, manufacture & classification, and cell delivery. Examples from the Healthcare Technologies Institute include skin and bone restructuring as well as technologies being developed for tissue regeneration. The module will also discuss finding new methods of detecting injuries and cancers early, improving scar reduction at different body sites and the development of innovative, bespoke medical devices and cell-based therapies. There will also be discussion of regulatory and ethical frameworks surrounding ATMPs and Regenerative Medicine Products. Commercial and Marketing considerations will also be discussed. Some regenerative medicine company case studies will be reviewed. There will be a session on Career Choices and group tutorial / Question & Answer sessions to review material with the lecturers. There will be a final session rounding up the course which will be open to student questions.

A recorded and interactive course delivered over five days.
