MN-3058 Innovation Management - Fundamentals

Innovation is the lifeblood of the global economy, and of particular importance in science and technology-based sectors. This module provides an overview of the innovation process in organisations, including key concepts of Open Innovation, Collaboration and New Product/Service Development.
PM-355 Drug Development and Regulation

This module offers a comprehensive introduction to clinical trials and drug development, focusing on both research methodology and applications in the pharmaceutical industry. It covers the design, conduct, analysis, and critical appraisal of clinical trials using real, published studies. Students will explore early to late-phase trials, simple and complex designs, and how treatment effectiveness can vary across different populations. In parallel, the module delves into the role of separation science and mass spectrometry in drug development, introducing key regulatory practices. Additionally, students will learn to track a drugs path through the body and critically evaluate its design.
PMNM12 Research Innovation and Management

The growth of the personalised medicine industry and advances within medicine and engineering that have led to the emergence of nanomedicine, present exciting opportunities for the development of advanced therapeutics. However, the management of research and innovation from discovery through to the transition to clinical trial, present unique project management, regulatory and ethical challenges that must be considered to effectively develop new diagnostics and therapeutics. This module will take students through the development process for a novel nanomedicine, highlighting the project management, ethical and regulatory considerations at each stage. The module will also explore the challenges faced from an academic and industry perspective, as well as providing the opportunity for students to learn from industry leaders with direct experience of the research and innovation journey.
