理学硕士（细胞制造与治疗）

本课程的主要目的是为希望研究关键新兴医学干预技术的人员提供细胞生物处理的正式培训，以供临床应用。该课程是根据《良好生产规范》设计的，为细胞疗法的发展提供了严格的科学基础。细胞的制造和治疗以及高级医药产品（ATMP）的生产正随着医学的未来而迅速发展。在NUI戈尔韦，我们处于独特的位置，可以利用在科学教育，生物医学研究，良好生产规范（GMP）级细胞制造和先进疗法的临床翻译方面的现有专业知识来教育这些新兴技术的未来领导者。
The primary objectives of the MSc in Cellular Manufacturing & Therapy at the University of Galway is to A) provide formal training in cellular bioprocessing for clinical application and B) cultivating a rigorous scientific underpinning for the development of a cellular therapy. The course curriculum balances the scientific aspects of cellular therapy (in 3 modules), bioprocessing and manufacturing regulation (in 2 modules) and offers optional modules in cancer biology, business, clinical trials and bio-ethics. A student's practical skills are developed beyond the classroom laboratory activities with supplemental activities such as workshops in sterile gowning and a 4-month work or laboratory placement, thereby gaining research or enterprise-centric skills. When launching, this MSc programme was the first of its kind worldwide<br>Modules in the biology underpinning the therapeutic application of mesenchymal stromal cells, immunotherapy and induced pluripotent stem cells, three types of cellular therapy currently in translation for clinical application.<br>Instruction by a multidisciplinary team of experts, the first to translate cellular therapies from the bench to clinical application in Ireland.<br>Four-month placement where student are embedded in a host environment corresponding to their carer of choice.<br>Potential employers are seeking graduates of this course to fill gaps in their current staffing. To that end, students enrolled in the MSc programme will complete a 4-month long dissertation project that will enable them to develop technical and transferrable skills while networking within a successful organization. Historically, our students were placed in organizations such as the Centre for Cellular Manufacturing Ireland, Galway Blood and Tissue Establishment, Charles River, Stempeutics, Avectas, Cancer Trials Ireland, Regeneron, Intas Pharmaceuticals, Aerogen, Hebei Medical University, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Hi-Tech Health and Valitacell.<br>Our graduates have successfully secured employment as plant technologists, production assistants, manufacturing biotech associates, cell culture scientists, cell culture technical support, in quality assurance and assay development or as research assistants. They are employed by world leading organizations such as Takeda, Autolus, University of Galway, Fuji Diosynth Biotechnologies, Avectas, Abace-Biology and Charles River laboratories.
