Presenter: Dr Ateequllah Hayat (Lecturer in Drug Development and Admissions Tutor)
What makes the Clinical Pharmacology BSc special?
This is the only undergraduate course in Clinical Pharmacology. It takes a deep dive into how we develop drugs, the processes of clinical trials and the impact of drugs on the human body. Instead of completing modules one at a time, you will complete six side-by-side modules that look at the bigger picture of the use of drugs in healthcare.
Who is the course for?
Clinical pharmacologists are needed now more than ever as we race to find new drugs and vaccines in the fight against emerging and evolving infections and diseases. Within the NHS, professionals in this area are critical to medicine management and supporting patients’ treatment.
There are diverse opportunities in this area - working in drug regulation, running clinical trials, researching disease processes. Potential employers include the NHS and professional and regulatory organisations, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Who is the presenter?
Dr Hayat is a lecturer in Drug Development on the Clinical Pharmacology BSc. He is the module lead for Year 1 and 2 Drug Development and contributes to teaching across the BSc including Year 3 Disease and Drug Targets A, Data and Statistics and Hot Topics. He also contributes to education and research on Biomedical Science BSc and Translational Medicine MRes.
Dr Hayat is an academic scientist with industry experience who obtained his PhD in Molecular Biology from Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London. There he developed an in vitro breast cancer model to characterise signalling and epigenetic changes at the very onset of breast cancer progression. He then joined Imperial College London working with Myricx Pharma Limited, where he characterised compounds to target a post-translational modification in various cancers.
