The field of regenerative medicine has considerably expanded with important investments by pharmaceutical companies both on research and - above all - in the development of clinical applications. Whilst approved and available clinical applications in patients are limited to some areas due to the complexity and length of the authorization process, experimental and preclinical research offer great potential for the development of new applications in the near future.

The course is aimed at young people with a Master's degree in

• Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry
• Biomedical Engineering
• Medicine and Surgery
• Veterinary Medicine
• Medical, Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
• Industrial Biotechnology
• Biology

Contents

The course has a duration of 1 year and comprises 7 thematic modules, relating to the tissues subject to regeneration in the medical field, and 1 module on management and administration in healthcare. The course includes an ample practical internship and 5 daily workshops on transversal topics

Programme

• Thursday from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
• Friday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM / 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
• Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM

One week per month according to the established calendar
It is specified that some classes may be attended online, while presence at the venue is required for exercises and seminars. The lessons take place at Center for Molecular Biotechnology "Guido Tarone" Via Nizza 52, Turin.

• Students will acquire knowledge and skills in the field of scientific and technological innovation and technology transfer; they will also be able to manage and design biotechnological and pharmaceutical and regenerative medicine methodologies, in order to:
• Students will learn those key aspects linking the world of research, clinic, business and industries
• Students will simulate the development and testing of innovative pharmacological products including gene therapy, cell therapy and nano-biotechnology) of particular relevance to therapy for human diseases
• Students will develop strategies for large-scale bio-productions
• Students will design and produce patents in the bio-medicine field
• Student will be trained and practice business development in the field of emerging biomedical technologies

Moreover, students will be exposed to:

• Employment growth in the area of ​​research and development of enterprises and employment growth also through enterprise spin-offs
• Scientific advice and dissemination

Upon completion of the Master program, the participants will be qualified for positions at local health companies, hospitals, IRCCS, polyclinics, private health companies, research and training centers operating in the regenerative medicine sector. In addition, the participants will be able to carry out research in various disciplinary areas related to the use of stem cells in basic research. Companies and subjects involved in the development of this Master program may request qualified personnel stemming from this course; companies, hospitals and cell factories need to hire trained staff to be able to expand their projects and regenerative medicine-related activities.
