Peptide Therapy Certificate

Meet Your Instructors

Dr Christopher Maclay MBBS, FRACGP (Ret.) Dr Christopher Maclay is a Health Expert and retired Medical Practitioner. A leading advocate and strategist in peptide therapy across Australia and the United States. He is the Academic Director of the Institute and the creator of the F.A.R.M. (Functional, Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine) system for improving clinical outcomes. Dr Maclay has collaborated with industry leaders internationally and is acutely aware of the risk environments faced by patients and clinicians, with a strong focus on governance, safety, and compliant access to emerging therapies. This program has been developed with contributions from a multidisciplinary faculty of experienced clinicians, scientists, and educators working across the fields of functional medicine, peptide science, and clinical therapeutics. The teaching team includes senior medical practitioners, specialist physicians, surgeons, pharmacists, and research scientists with extensive experience in both clinical practice and biomedical research. Collectively, the faculty bring expertise from primary care, endocrinology, pharmacology, surgery, aesthetics, translational research, and peptide chemistry. Members of the faculty have held or currently hold positions within universities, hospitals, clinical practices, and biotechnology environments, and have contributed to clinical education, scientific publications, and the development of emerging therapeutic protocols. Their backgrounds include experience in patient care, regulatory environments, pharmaceutical development, and advanced therapeutic formulation. Importantly, the program benefits from contributions by professionals working directly in peptide chemistry, GMP/GLP manufacturing, and translational research, providing participants with insight into the scientific and pharmaceutical foundations of peptide therapeutics alongside their clinical application. The educational content has therefore been designed from a multidisciplinary perspective, integrating: • Clinical medicine and patient care • Specialist expertise in metabolic and hormonal medicine • Pharmaceutical science and pharmacology • Peptide chemistry and formulation science • Surgical and procedural medicine • Evidence evaluation and clinical research methodology This breadth of expertise ensures that the course provides not only practical clinical insights, but also a strong scientific and regulatory understanding of peptide therapeutics.
