Personalised Medicine and Novel Therapies MSc

Personalised medicine is the next generation of medicine and healthcare. It aims to improve the management of patients’ health and to target therapies to achieve the best outcomes in the management of a patient’s condition, their predisposition to disease and their prognosis. Personalised healthcare takes a multi-omics approach (one which incorporates data from a range of different sources, including genomic and epigenomic) directed at the development of novel therapies.

The content includes a focused set of core modules specialising in all aspects of personalised medicine, including genomics, bioinformatics, statistics and the regulatory aspects of novel therapies such as clinical trial design. Optional modules allow you to explore the applications and scope of personalised medicine, including pharmacometrics.
