Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Translational Medicine

How can we effectively make our new breakthrough research available to patients in the form of a treatment to help them live longer? How can we learn from the already existing therapies and take them back to basic research to make them more effective? The answer to both these questions is 'Translational Medicine' or 'Translational Research'. Translational medicine is now a globally recognized, promising discipline that involves the translation of science from a laboratory bench to a hospital bedside and then taking the therapy back to the lab for further research. A large part of translational medicine is focused essentially on novel drug therapies. Translational medicine essentially serves the purpose of in vitro studies, pre-clinical studies and human trials to help treat major human health problems. Professionals or experts in translational medicine design several pathways to facilitate the best therapies that are to be tested in human subjects.

It is the evolution of an innovative thought that transforms into a new therapy or device so as to help improve human health and manage disease. This enthusiastic field has gained popularity because of its high demand in the international research sector. It largely comprises a broad range of scientific disciplines for instance, molecular medicine, intellectual property, funding, regulation and clinical trial design among the several others. Translational Medicine aims to provide one with knowledge & hone skills to perform studies related to pharmaceutical & biomedical research and thus to obtain a newly discovered medicine through tedious clinical development phases.
