Clinical Innovations from bench to bedside: An introduction to developing therapeutics, medical devices and diagnostics
Date: Wednesday 30th November 2022 (10am - 11am)
Venue: Online
This online seminar is part of the DCU Invent Insights on Innovation Series
Academic research can be the starting point for life-saving innovations across therapeutics, medical devices and diagnostics. However the long journey from lab to market can be daunting.
Prof. Alan Boyd and Eamonn McGowran have extensive experience in bringing these products to market, supporting both university spinouts and large multinationals. In this online seminar they will outline typical development pathways and highlight how decisions in early stage research can help or hinder translation to the clinic.
They will touch on:
- Key changes in recent EU Medical Device Regulations
- Medical device categories and the varying regulatory requirements
- The role of the HPRA and when to engage with them
- Obtaining Assistance at European Medicine Agency for innovative therapies
- Considerations for planning academic research to facilitate translation to the clinic
