Regenerative Medicine and Innovation Technology, iBSc (Hons)

Our Regenerative Medicine & Innovation Technology Intercalated BSc offers you the opportunity to study the fascinating and rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of regenerative medicine, which focuses on the repair, replacement or regeneration of tissues and organs. We combine this with a study of how interactions with microbial communities impact human diseases, which will teach you the concepts behind personalised medicine. Regenerative medicine is at the forefront of the new wave of modern treatments, including personalised medicine. Its applications are being increasingly used in a variety of medical and dental fields in a variety of ways, from use of stem cells and novel biomaterials in treating physical injuries and conditions, to the use of microbiome modulation in treating chronic infections and inflammatory diseases. This iBSc will prepare medical and dental school graduates to understand and take full advantage of these new approaches to diagnosis and treatment currently being developed and expanded within the NHS. The programme prepares students for pathways leading to consultant positions in medical and dental fields, as well as providing a foundation for exploitation through a higher research degree.
