Upcoming Online Courses LUMC/PJ Futurelab for Biomedical Professionals
This fall, LUMC/PJ Futurelab offers three online learning-by-doing courses, including an all-new Market Approval course. The courses are for post-graduate biomedical professionals currently working in industry, academia, Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTOs), or regulatory authorities. In these courses, you will be guided by world-renowned experts, including real-time video conferences with teachers and other participants, providing a highly interactive experience.
In addition, the courses give you access to unique tools designed to help you draft a license agreement (the License Agreement Builder), find your way through the regulatory jungle (the Market Approval Navigator), and develop the most efficient clinical development program (the Questions Optimizing Calculator).
For each course, there are a limited number of scholarships available for participants currently working at a Dutch university, university medical center, research center, or hospital. You can read more below.
Intellectual Property course, starting date: October 11, 2021
Obtaining a patent is a key step in safeguarding the intellectual property of a new biomedical product and to raise funding for development. In this course you’ll learn the pros and cons of intellectual property, as well as the main do’s and don’ts to help you protect your biomedical invention in a timely manner.

Market Approval course, starting date: October 25, 2021
Obtaining market approval is an important step in the development of a new biomedical product. In this course you’ll learn how to find and interpret the relevant regulatory guidelines that will steer you through the development process. Real-world case studies, including the development of a gene therapy product and a fictitious mRNA-based vaccine, are presented to familiarize you with issues that can arise during development, as well as how to assess an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD).

Clinical Development course, starting date: November 1, 2021
Question-based clinical development (QBCD) can facilitate the design of a rational, efficient development pathway for new biomedical products. In this course, you’ll learn the principles behind QBCD and how it can be applied to real-world R&D projects as we described in the PJ Futurelab paper Integrating scientific considerations into R&D project valuation by De Visser et al., Nature Biotechnology, Jan. 2020, p.14-18.
