The course content is based on, and is a specialisation of, previous knowledge in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology from the undergraduate programme. The course is divided into three fields, cell-, gene- and immunotherapy. The course includes diverse subjects such as Good manufacturing practice (GMP), Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP), both viral and non-viral gene therapy, gene editing, oligonucleotide- and mRNA treatments, genetically modified cells and antibodies that influence the immune system. Diagnostics methods connected to the treatments will also be discussed.
