The module centers around engineering biological systems with a focus on responsible innovation and commercialisation. It acknowledges the significance of responsible innovation at both the national and international levels and its connection to content of the programme involving applying engineering principles to biological systems. Additionally, the module delves into the process of transforming an idea into a commercially viable product, the consideration of ethical and regulatory steps, securing financial investment, understanding intellectual property (IP) and patent development, and employing various strategies to leverage IP for commercialisation. The students' comprehension of these concepts will be evaluated through a Dragon's Den-style slide deck pitch, where they will seek start-up funding.
