Introduction to Drug Discovery and Drug Development

Description

Understand the science behind pharmaceutical drug discovery, drug development, and clinical trials. Whether you're expanding your career knowledge into the pharmaceutical industry or an aspiring pharmaceutical scientist or clinical project coordinator, you've come to the right place.

This course will give you an introductory understanding of the science behind how drug candidates are discovered and selected, how drugs are developed, the process of clinical trial, alternative medicine, generic and innovator drugs, regulatory affairs, and an overview of the pharmaceutical industry,

While most science courses focus on simply what the theories are, I teach through applicable, real-life examples designed to show you why these theories work and how they can be applied in your very own daily lives. I will not teach you to memorize formulas, theories, or to regurgitate facts and drug names. I will provide insights into the drug discovery and development through the lens of a pharmaceutical scientist or clinical project coordinator.

By the end of the course, you'll be able to:

• Describe how drugs candidates are discovered, developed, put through clinical trial, and regulated

• Explain the similarity and differences between generic and innovator (brand) drugs

• Understand alternative and complementary medicine, what they are, why people use them, and how they "work"

• Discuss the controversies surrounding "Big Pharma" and the biggest lawsuits surrounding pharmaceutical companies

• Explain the theory of bioequivalence, narrow therapeutic drugs, regulatory requirements

• Know the difference between pharmaceutical scientist, pharmacist, pharmacologists, toxicologists, doctors, and nurses

• And many, many more!

• Instructional videos of course content

• Lecture slides to go with the instructional videos
