Job Opportunities
This course aims to make known the different Advanced Therapies, their scientific foundations, their requirements and particularities of development, production and regulation. In addition, it aims to help the integration of this knowledge in the translational development of this type of therapy and in its clinical practice.
Students should be known the different types of advanced therapies existing, their scientific basis, regulatory framework, products currently in the final phase of development and already in commercialization and their clinical applicability.
