Translational Medicine Certificate by e-learning
Edinburgh University
Translational Medicine is a rapidly emerging discipline focused on bridging
technologies and discoveries in the laboratory with their application in
clinical research and practice. Understanding Translational Medicine is crucial
for all professionals involved in research from bench to bedside. The same
principles apply in the academic, biotech and pharmaceutical environments. This
is the first online programme of its kind. The Certificate programme highlights
the interdependence of medical, scientific, regulatory and societal components
of Translational Medicine, with experts in each of these areas contributing to
the programme content. The principles are applied in real-life examples of
cutting-edge research, using multiple information sources and teaching media.
At the end of the certificate, students will be able to envisage the pathway of
research from cloning to clinic, and the deployment of many state-of-the-art
tools. The programme will appeal to a broad range of clinicians, scientists,
paramedical researchers and regulators in academia, biopharmaceutical, policy
and healthcare sectors. For many it will provide an alternative to, or high
quality preparation for, a MD or PhD. For others it will provide substantial
benefit to their employers.
