LIFE Capital - move people forward, proudly launches four pilot modules within the program Groningen Human Capital for Life Sciences. In close collaboration with the leading knowledge institutions UMCG and Hanze and industry partners, those courses help the life science professionals to keep ahead of the game in the field of Bioanalysis and Genetechnology.
You will explore how LBA is used in drug research and discover how its applications support the development of new therapies. You will gain a strong theoretical foundation that enables you to design informed experiments rather than relying on trial-and-error. You will also become familiar with LBA applications in PK, PD, and ADA, as well as the guidelines that ensure reliable, reproducible assays in a regulated environment. Throughout the course, theory is paired with practical case studies, helping you develop and validate LBA methods that meet current regulatory standards.
When: April 9 to June 18 (every Thursday, excluding holidays and vacation periods). This is our intended start date, though its feasibility is still being assessed based on input from the field.
Duration: 5 ECTS × 28 hours = 140 hours, of which approximately 70 hours at Hanze University and 70 hours of self-study.
Format: The course combines two full days on location with interactive sessions and workshops, complemented by online e-learning modules and knowledge clips to support flexible learning schedules. The final assignment is based on an authentic case identified by the participant.
Target group: Professionals with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, or an MBO degree with some work experience in LBA. You are an (assistant) analyst, laboratory technician, or project leader within, for example, the pharmaceutical, biomedical, or clinical-chemical sector. You already have experience with LBA and wish to deepen your expertise in method development, validation, and troubleshooting, and learn how to apply this knowledge in your own projects.
Capacity: 2–4 (currently about 3–4 places are filled; ideally, we would like to have 6–8 participants in total).
