Curriculum
Laboratory
The Laboratory of Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy of the University of Patras, Department of Pharmacy, is the first academic Laboratory of Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy in Greece. Nowadays, although Pharmacogenomics is regarded as one of the most promising disciplines in modern medicine, it is barely covered by Greek Universities, while research and education in the field is limited. The Laboratory of Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy aspires to fill in this gap, while setting a precedent for the establishment of corresponding laboratories in other Universities and Research Centers in the country.
The laboratory was officially established in June 2018 (Government Gazette B’/2300/18-6-2018) and is active in the areas of research (including clinical trials), education and service provision in the field of Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy. The Laboratory is equipped with the state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and instruments and is staffed by over 25 researchers, technicians, administrative staff, PhD students and postgraduate students.
The Laboratory of Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy is internationally renowned for its high-level research, in terms of wet-lab, dry-lab and public health genomics, all focused mainly on the field of Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine. It also covers research areas in Rare Diseases and Drug Outcomes.
The Laboratory of Pharmacogenomics and Individualized Therapy has been successfully involved in many international consortia and research programs, and has had a large body of work published in international high-quality peer-reviewed journals.
6 weeks curriculum
Fellows will be supported to settle down into their new environment (find appropriate accommodation, locate amenities, etc.). A desk space will be allocated. Full induction (safety, laboratory practices, personal welfare, etc.) will be provided by the University’s designated staff and by our laboratory staff. Initial meeting with the fellow will be arranged to discuss the objectives of the training and the expected mechanisms of their fulfilment. Experimental plans with realistic timelines will then be decided.
The fellow will be fully trained to run each experiment. They will then be allowed to attempt the experiment themselves, with the trainer present during their first run. They will be able to engage with the supervisor and other members of the laboratory to discuss any aspects of the general running of the laboratory or specific protocols that they require clarifications on. They will also be trained in how to analyse and interpret their data. Weekly or bi-weekly meetings with the fellow will be arranged to discuss and reflect on their progress and decide the next set of experiments based on data generated. A fellow must keep adequate and accurate records of their work using the laboratory book provided.
The fellow will be given opportunity to partake in research group meetings and other academic activities within the Department and the University, including attending relevant bespoke workshops on research career development (e.g., on manuscript writing, grant writing, networking, etc.). They will also be encouraged to present their work orally at a research group meeting at least once before they complete their visit.
Towards the end of the training, a final meeting with the fellow will be arranged to discuss plans to publish their work (if enough data collected) or disseminate their findings in a future conference. They will also be assisted to identify existing or future opportunities, globally or within their original work environment, that the training has empowered them to be eligible and competitive for and how they can be assisted to access them and also integrate the knowledge and skills gained into their further research or professional practice roles.
All throughout the training any peculiar challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.
