Objectives
Student learns to describe and understand the purpose of the different phases of the drug discovery and development process and discuss which particular aspects at each stage of the process. Student can critically evaluate and select appropriate research methods to elucidate the pharmacological and pharmaceutical properties of drug molecules as well as to assess the toxicological and safety profiles of drug candidates during the various stages of non-clinical and clinical drug development. Furthermore, student understands the differences between "conventional" small molecule drugs, biological and advanced therapy drugs in terms of their chemical, biological and pharmacological properties that give rise to different drug development processes. In addition, students can explain the role of intellectual property rights (IPR) in drug development and how this is reflected in the strategies of drug companies. Student understands the ethical guidelines that regulate the use of laboratory animals in research and clinical investigations. Student improves her/his communication, scientific presentation skills and team work by preparing presentations for journal clubs and podcasts.
