You will be introduced to emerging technologies in the Biomedical Sciences discipline (e.g. Stem cells, Genome editing, Immunotherapy) and learn how they are being applied to transform drug development and delivery. You will develop important, transferable scientific communication skills by presenting a seminar and by synthesis of written reports.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to
LO1: Critically appraise the molecular determinants and rationale involved in determining target pathways in drug discovery and development.
LO2: Critically appraise emerging technologies used in drug development.
LO3: Critically explore the impact of a range of new drug delivery platforms.
LO4: Challenge and reflect on current topical issues using examples from relevant scientific literature and develop skills of critical analysis and presentation/communication.
