Advanced Materials, Devices and Manufacturing Processes for Regenerative Medicine (BENG0032)

The aim of the module is to provide students with a working understanding of advanced biomaterials and process discovery devices that are used for regenerative medicines manufacture and the considerations regarding infrastructure requirements for clinical grade manufacture of regenerative medicines. This will provide students with the skills that would be highly desirable by a growing regenerative medicine manufacture industry and the Cell Therapy Catapult.

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Understand the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of different materials and their application to manufacturing processes for emerging regenerative medicines.
	Appreciate novel technologies currently employed for regenerative medicine manufacture, with specific emphasis on the utility and application of microfluidic devices to process discovery.
	Develop an understanding of how new manufacturing processes for stem cells rely upon clinical grade manufacturing.

Disability, Chronic Illness and Neurodivergence in the Contemporary Society (BASC0039)

Despite recent societal changes, people with disabilities, chronic illnesses and/or neurodivergence are still underrepresented in society, popular culture, medical and academic disciplines. Lack of understanding of and intellectual engagement with disabilities, chronic illnesses and/or neurodivergence reinforce stereotypes and barriers. In this module, students will take an autoethnographic, reflexive approach to exploring disabilities, chronic illnesses and neurodivergence in society in general, and more specifically in the contexts of the studies of film, media and literature; law; geography and architecture; business, enterprise and economy; and disability studies, medicine and sociology.
