Course Description

Course Profile

What kind of knowledge, skills and competencies you will acquire at this field of studies:

• the design and in vitro synthesis of nucleic acid-based biological drugs.
• the molecular mechanisms of action of biological drugs at the cellular and organismal levels.
• pharmaceutical biophysics methods for better design, quality control and optimisation of biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
• biochemical mechanisms occurring in cells and how they can be used in the production of medicinal substances.
• purification of proteins with therapeutic applications (such as antibodies) and learn about cellular systems used for drug production.
• designing preclinical studies of biological drugs using in vitro cell cultures and animal models.
• methods of delivering biological drugs to cells using lipid nanoparticles.
• ethical creation of animal models for preclinical research using CRISPR/Cas9 methods and the use of animals following applicable law and good practice.
• the use of modern analytical techniques for biological drug research
• modern technologies, and methods of genetic modification used in the production of biological drugs.
• regulatory, patent, financial and management aspects related to the development of biological drugs
• principles of quality control of drugs based on proteins and nucleic acids and their production on a preclinical scale.
• production technologies, biotechnological processes, and transport and separation methods.

You will learn:

• to critically analyse scientific publications and patents, and to present research results following the principles of effective and correct communication.
• to plan and conduct biotechnological experiments, and to interpret and report research data.
• to develop soft skills through teamwork and team management.
• use bioinformatics tools to design, analyse and improve biological drugs.
• assess the usefulness of various methods and devices and propose optimal solutions for drug development and production.
• develop practical laboratory skills in the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology.
• Implement and supervise the production processes of biosimilar drugs and quality control, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

During your studies in Biological Therapeutics, you will gain comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of pharmaceutical biotechnology, laboratory and analytical skills, and the competencies necessary to work in the innovative sector of biological and biosimilar drug production, which will allow you to function effectively in the modern pharmaceutical industry. You will acquire the skills to work in research and development and production departments of companies in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical sectors.
