Explain how potential drug targets and molecules are identified and evaluated, including the importance of biological activity, pharmacokinetics, and safety. Recognize some of the potential preclinical and clinical hurdles a new drug candidate must overcome.
Introduction to Drug Hunting, part 2Introduction to Drug Hunting, part 3This course introduces and summarizes the different steps of preclinical drug discovery, wrapping up with a brief description of the subsequent clinical trials and the importance of competitive intelligence in project strategy. It provides a high-level overview for those interested in a more general understanding of the topic and forms the foundation for a more in-depth exploration of topics covered in other courses in this series. Target audience: This course is suitable for life scientists,
succinct, well explained, quick to move through the modules
Great neatly-packaged and succinct course on drug discovery and development.
Great introduction - accessible and clear, even for a none scientist
I love how concise it is. The structure is incredibly well done. Thank you!
