Program Curriculum
In this module, you will learn about developmental processes that are key to the amazing phenomenon of tissue regeneration. Through hands-on laboratory sessions, you will have the thrilling opportunity to work with cutting-edge vertebrate or invertebrate models, delving into the fascinating role of signalling pathways in development and regeneration.
Prepare to be inspired as you learn how insights from human development are paving the way for groundbreaking medical advancements. Engage with experts from the Shrewsbury Assisted Conception Unit, who will share their exciting insights into tissue engineering and fertility treatments, which are impacting people's lives.
You will also unleash your creativity in the Bioreactors workshop, where cutting-edge technology meets innovative thinking in tissue engineering. With a rich mix of workshops, lectures, and hands-on laboratory experiences, you will come away with a profound understanding of developmental processes. Get ready for an adventure that combines science, innovation, and real-world applications!
In this module, you will embark on a learning journey through the forefront of molecular medicine! You will learn about transformative methodologies like CAR-T therapy, RNA interference (RNAi), CRISPR gene editing, monoclonal antibodies, and small-molecule inhibitors. You will explore fascinating developmental biology and reproductive medicine applications, featuring insightful talks from experts.
Not only will you enhance your knowledge, but you will also develop essential skills in experimental design and critical assessment. Participate in a hands-on CRISPR gRNA design workshop, where you'll sharpen your technical skills and engage in a practical laboratory experience focused on bacterial transformation used within academia and industry. This is not just a course—it's a gateway to the future of medicine! Get ready to be inspired and informed!
In this project-based module, you will investigate a gene of interest, unlocking its role within a specific differentiation pathway or regenerative process. You will use a bioinformatics-based approach to assess the conservation of your gene of interest across animals and assess the functional changes of importance. Additionally, you will Identify regulatory elements associated with the gene in your chosen species (e.g. human, mouse, chick, zebrafish, hydra). You will also identify expression patterns during development by assessing online RNA-Seq data.
