BASIC overview of the translational path

ACCELERATE Potential | Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø School of Life and Medical Sciences - Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø – University College London. This online course is an introduction to the Translational Research and the Translational Path. Self paced, for Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø staff/studentsÌýand externals.

The Academic Careers Office (ACO) at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø is part of the Office of the Vice Provost for Health (OVPH). The OVPH's mission is to enhanceÌýexternal relationships in biomedicine with a range of medical research organisations, NHS included. The ACOÌýpromotes, supports and develops many aspects of academicÌýin health related disciplines across Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø. As Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø students and researchers at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Queen Square IoN, everyone is welcomed to use this resource.ÌýACCELERATE | Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø School of Life and Medical Sciences - Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø – University College London

FOCUS on the development pathway and regulations of gene, cell and tissue therapy (ATMPs: advanced therapy medical products)

Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are medicines for human use that areÌýeitherÌýa gene therapy medicinal product, a somatic cell therapy medicinal product, orÌýÌýa tissue engineered product. Here you can find informativeÌýmaterial from the UK and EU regulatory agency.

FOCUS on the development pathway and regulations of small molecules and devices

This presentationÌýwas made by Deloitte and published by gov.uk* (2016) as aÌýguide to navigating the innovation pathway in England. It includes development pathways for pharmaceuticals and medical technologies.ÌýÌý(*The document is pre-Brexit, therefore some links are not anymore up to date or available. Check with the TRO/TRM if you have specific questions). -Ìý.

Oxford also offers some interesting webinars freely available:

Small molecule:Ìý. The University of Oxford offers a series of videos to discuss the experience of innovators from pharma (Bayers, Astra Zeneca), but also regulators. Click here you hear about target validation, regulation, commercialisation and investment opportunities.Ìý
Devices:Ìý. The development of a device follows different regulations compared to a biologic.ÌýIt is also good practice to have an idea of the category to which the device belongs.ÌýThe online tool RegMetrics is a digital platform to support health technology innovators in navigating the medical device regulations. The technology was initially developed by the Natural Interaction Lab () at the University of Oxford, as a solution for a need that was observed within the community of innovators.Ìý

PPI (Patient and Public involvement)

Evidence of involving patients and the public in the planning, design, management and/or dissemination of research is increasingly a requirement of major funding bodies in the UK. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍøÌýprovideS an online PPI helpdesk that researchers can contact PatienceÌýfor advice on PPI. The helpdesk can be contacted onÌýppihelpdesk@ucl.ac.uk.
