The Programme

Who this is for

Regenerative medicine is held back less by a shortage of ideas than by weak study design. This programme is deliberately unglamorous and is the one most likely to change what you publish.

Curriculum

Four modules

Taught in sequence. Each builds directly on the one before it.

  • 01

    Asking an answerable question

    Turning a clinical hunch into a hypothesis with a measurable endpoint and a realistic sample size.

  • 02

    Design & bias

    Randomisation, blinding where it is possible, control selection, and the specific biases that plague small biologics trials.

  • 03

    Biostatistics in practice

    Power calculation, effect size, handling missing data, and why a p-value is not a finding.

  • 04

    Writing & peer review

    Structuring a manuscript, responding to reviewers, and reporting a negative result so that it is publishable.

On Completion

A well-designed negative study advances the field more than a poorly designed positive one. We spend the last week on exactly that.
