If you are interested in human and animal health, how biological systems work at the molecular level and are passionate about how you can apply your science skills and knowledge in health-related areas, then this is the course for you. In this course we cover several core topics in drug development. Starting with an overview of drug development the course then focuses on key early aspects in the drug development process; target and hit identification and lead development. We introduce important in-vitro drug-testing techniques and methods to visualize drug-drug target interactions. We then address toxicological considerations (i.e. regulatory, toxicology, environmental and clinical testing considerations)., which are critical in drug development. Self-directed learning topics will reinforce the concepts presented and allow you to extend your understanding.
