The traditional notion of medicines as small molecules and chemicals is somewhat dated. In recent years there has been an explosion of new and advanced therapeutics including cell and gene-based therapies. Indeed, many consulted stakeholders and companies have indicated a desire to equip graduates with the knowledge and expertise of these advanced therapeutics. This module will introduce many of these new modalities and provide insight into how they work and what they are utilised for. Furthermore, it will also cover advanced methods of drug delivery including long-acting and nano-formulations. The module includes research connected lectures, seminars and workshops delivered by research-active academics. Module assessment will be by production of an infographic and an written exam assessment.
