Periodontal Therapy 1: Non-surgical and Basic Surgical Therapy (DENT0169)

This module familiarises graduates with appropriate clinical skills at the start of the programme and ensures they are competent to see patients. It also outlines the functioning of the Unit of Periodontology and equips them with the basic skills required to book patients etc.

It includes, but is not limited to, non-surgical skills, clinical examination, behaviour, patient information and motivation, case presentation, restorative aspects of treatment, occlusal adjustment, introduction to surgery, periodontal and osseous surgery, suturing and pain relief, and crown lengthening.

Cell Based Immunotherapy for Cancer and Other Immune Diseases (CHLD0100)

This module will cover advanced concepts of cell based immunotherapies for cancer and other immune disorders (e.g. autoimmune diseases), from target identification and synthetic biology for cell engineering, to their pre-clinical development and clinical translation. The module will provide the participants with unique access to the latest data from the broad ranging portfolio of  chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell studies taking place at GOSH and will contextualize the main clinical limitations identified and novel approaches being undertaken to refining cell based immunotherapy strategies to reduce toxicity and prevent therapy escape.
NB: The Cancer Institute offers a module entitled "Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy". This is restricted to MSc Cancer students. The main focus of this module though is the interaction between cancer and immune microenvironment. The module also gives an overview of monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, oncolytic viruses and cell based therapies including CAR T-cells, but unlike the propose module, the latter do not constitute the main core of the module.
