The course is delivered by the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, a specialist graduate institute and a worldwide centre of excellence in clinical research (Research Excellence Framework, (REF) 2021). Research spans a wide range of neurological diseases, including movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. It also covers multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, neuro-inflammation, epilepsy, stroke, Huntington disease, cognitive dysfunction, Alzheimer’s disease, and other dementias.
Targeting all areas of translational neuroscience, you will engage with and enhance your understanding of the phases of drug development, from pre-clinical to clinical research. There is a particular focus on first-in-human and early phase clinical trials, study designs and endpoints, biomarkers, and safety assessments in clinical trials. You will also explore the principles of Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacovigilance, as well as research governance and medical statistics. In addition, the course covers the fundamental principles for the correct use of enabling technologies within the context of medical research and drug development, including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, clinical study designs, biomarkers, imaging, electrophysiology, and related approaches.
