Thanks to this Hybrid professional master’s degree, you will cover several fundamental aspects for the personalization of pharmaceutical treatments, including a practical stay of 3 weeks”

Production and Development of Individualized Medicines is experiencing significant advances driven by genomics and biotechnology. The ability to sequence the human genome quickly and accurately has made it possible to identify genetic variants that influence patients' response to treatments. This has led to the development of personalized therapies that can be tailored specifically to the genetic and biometric characteristics of each individual patient. 

This is how this Hybrid professional master’s degree was born, which will examine the basics of individualized formulation, providing professionals with the essential knowledge on how to design personalized treatments that meet the specific needs of each patient.

Likewise, crucial aspects such as Biopharmacy and Pharmacokinetics will be addressed, which are fundamental to understand how drugs interact with the body 
and are metabolized. In addition, the study plan will devote time to the different pharmaceutical forms whether topical, liquid, solid, mucosal or sterile, providing a practical approach on how to formulate and administer various types of treatments according to the patient's needs. Likewise, advanced topics will be explored, such as the use of essential oils, excipients, bases and coadjuvants in master formulation, as well as the essential physicochemical operations to guarantee the quality and stability of the products produced.

Therefore, TECH has implemented a university program of high academic quality, divided into two distinct stages. During the first stage, graduates will delve into the theory of Production and Development of Individualized Medicines in a totally online modality, avoiding the problems that may arise from traveling to a physical center and adjusting to a pre-established schedule. In the second stage, students will dedicate 3 weeks to an exhaustive practical stay in a prestigious pharmaceutical laboratory, working in a real environment with a team of experts.

You will ensure that the manufacturing processes comply with regulatory standards, guaranteeing the safety and efficacy of customized pharmaceutical products”

This Hybrid professional master’s degree in Production and Development of Individualized Medicines contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Development of more than 100 clinical cases presented by pharmacology professionals who are experts in individualized medicine and university professors with extensive experience in drug development
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• In addition, they will be able to do an internship in one of the best pharmaceutical laboratories in the world

Take an intensive 3-week internship in a prestigious pharmaceutical laboratory and acquire all the knowledge to grow personally and professionally”

In this proposal for a Hybrid professional master’s degree, of a professionalizing nature and blended learning modality, the program is aimed at updating pharmacology professionals who work in laboratories specialized in individualized medicine, and who require a high level of qualification. The contents are based on the latest scientific evidence, and oriented in a didactic way to integrate theoretical knowledge in pharmacological practice, and the theoretical-practical elements will facilitate the updating of knowledge and allow decision making in patient management.

Thanks to its multimedia content elaborated with the latest educational technology, they will allow the pharmacology professional to obtain a situated and contextual learning, that is to say, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive learning programmed to qualify in real situations. This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the physician must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will gain profound knowledge of mucosal and sterile pharmaceutical forms, as well as the use of essential oils, excipients, bases and coadjuvants in master formulation"

You will master the most advanced techniques in the development of individualized medicines, enabling you to innovate in a constantly evolving field. What are you waiting for to enroll?"

From the basic fundamentals of individualized formulation to the practical application of regulations, the program will ensure a thorough understanding of how to design and prepare pharmaceutical treatments tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Therefore, pharmacists will delve into Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics to optimize the absorption and effectiveness of drugs, as well as master the essential technical operations in the preparation of personalized formulas. In addition, specific pharmaceutical forms will be analyzed, such as topical, oral liquid and solid administration, as well as the handling of sterile products and the use of essential oils and coadjuvants in formulation.
