The biology of transplantation
Stem cell and tissue banking
Donor considerations for transplantation
Advanced cell therapies
Personalised medicine
Teaching will be delivered in blocks, including data-based and laboratory-based practicals, as well as online lectures and webinars, online case studies (patient scenario-based), online forum and tutorials.
Teaching will also focus on being practice-led, embedding the application of transplantation theory, together with current clinical management of stem cell, tissue and organ transplantation.
The written examination will assess your knowledge on the breadth of the syllabus and evidence their ability to critically analyse and apply current research from the scientific literature and clinical guidelines.
You will also be assessed on your portfolio which should evidence the interpretation of data obtained in laboratory practical classes and understanding of practical application of theoretical concepts.You will be supported in this assessment by in-session guidance from the teaching team and formative feedback on work completed in the initial practical session.
