About

The primary objectives of this Cellular Manufacturing and Therapy programme at University of Galway are to provide formal training in cellular bioprocessing for clinical application and cultivating a rigorous scientific underpinning for the development of a cellular therapy.

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

The  Cellular Manufacturing and Therapy programme at University of Galway  balances the scientific aspects of cellular therapy (in 3 modules), bioprocessing and manufacturing regulation (in 2 modules) and offers optional modules in cancer biology, business, clinical trials and bio-ethics.  A student’s practical skills are developed beyond the classroom laboratory activities with supplemental activities such as workshops in sterile gowning and a 4-month work or laboratory placement, thereby gaining research or enterprise-centric skills. When launching, this MSc programme was the first of its kind worldwide.  

Careers

Potential employers are seeking graduates of this course to fill gaps in their current staffing.  To that end, students enrolled in the MSc programme will complete a 4-month long dissertation project that will enable them to develop technical and transferrable skills while networking within a successful organization.  Historically, our students were placed in organizations such as the Centre for Cellular Manufacturing Ireland, Galway Blood and Tissue Establishment, Charles River, Stempeutics, Avectas, Cancer Trials Ireland, Regeneron, Intas Pharmaceuticals, Aerogen, Hebei Medical University, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Hi-Tech Health and Valitacell.
