Core Course

Medical Biotechnology and Drug Development
Fall/Spring, 3 Credits 

This course gives you an overview of the drug discovery and development processes where disease-targeted research leads to clinical treatments. Recent advances within medical biotechnologies and the latest treatment approaches are introduced, including stem cell technology, immunotherapies, and modern vaccine development, such as those created to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. You will visit European pharmaceutical and biotechnology communities, university/hospital labs and start-up companies and get an insight into the business aspects of drug development and the many job niches of the field.

Regenerative Medicine: Cell Therapies, Cell-Free Innovations, and Emerging Technologies
Fall/Spring, 3 Credits

This course is designed to provide you with the opportunity to explore some of the most innovative topics in regenerative medicine, including cell therapy, cell-free therapies, and emerging technologies. You will gain insight into how research in these areas is conducted and how scientific discoveries translate into clinical practice. You’ll also learn about the latest advancements in the use of various cell types for therapy, the development of cell-free products, and the engineering and bioprinting technologies.

Core Course Study Tours

This program travels on Study Tours to the following destinations:

Medical Biotechnology and Drug Development

  • Week-Long Study Tour: Lisbon-Porto (Fall/Spring) or Barcelona-Madrid (Fall/Spring) or London (Spring) or Paris (Fall)
  • Core Course Week: Denmark

Regenerative Medicine: Cell Therapies, Cell-Free Innovations, and Emerging Technologies

  • Week-Long Study Tour: Milan-Modena (Spring) or Heidelberg-Munich (Fall)
  • Core Course Week: Southern Sweden

Early in the semester, you delve into your academic focus during Core Course Week, in which you travel on a short Study Tour for three days in Denmark or a neighboring country, combined with a two-day seminar in Copenhagen. Later in the semester, you travel again with your Core Course on a week-long Study Tour in Europe.

While on tour, theories learned in the classroom come to life by meeting with professionals and experts in your field who contribute to furthering your understanding of course topics. Study Tours are hands-on and experiential, combining theory with practice, and expose you to additional cultural perspectives. You have the opportunity to visit sites and experts in your field of interest that you may not otherwise have access to.
