Gene therapy: Development of Preclinical and Clinical Studies and Associated Regulatory Processes
- Location:
- Online
- Course Duration:
- Online, self-paced
- Course Overview:
This course outlines the development of novel investigational Gene Therapy Medicinal Products (GTMPs), looking at preclinical and clinical study design as well as associated regulation. Although this course centres on gene therapies, Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) and genetic therapies will be discussed due to their similarities in translational development.
The course starts by outlining the importance of planning ahead due to the complexity of GTMP development. Following this, various stages of preclinical and clinical development are covered. Additionally the process of seeking market authorisation will be addressed as well as the need for long term follow up. Regulatory processes, requirements, and guidance for GTMP development will be highlighted throughout the course to provide a comprehensive overview of the differing regulations from global health authorities.

Foundations and Manufacturing in Cell and Gene Therapies
- Location:
- Online
- Course Duration:
- Time commitment: 15-30 hours. Course length: 9 months self-paced
- Course Overview:
The aim of course is to provide learners with a comprehensive and up-to-date development of the gene therapy area with specific reference to the development, manufacturing and commercialisation of gene therapies. The topics will be addressed using a combination of lectures, training and animation videos and an assessed quiz.
The course is designed for engineers who would like to pursue a career in Gene therapy as well as life scientists and clinicians working in the field of regenerative medicine and cell and gene therapy. It will also be particular interest to project managers, funders and policy makers wanting to gain an understanding in this field. It also provides a fundamental base for life scientists and engineers from biopharma who wish to repurpose skills for the cell and gene therapy sector. By attending the course, the learner will network with sector leaders and subject matter experts (from academia and industry) and also increase the learners’ creativity and professional status.
