*ONLINE* Introduction to Drug Discovery: From Idea to Clinical Candidate 2 day course

Those wanting to gain a comprehensive picture of the science and processes underpinning today’s drug discovery. Covering, step-by-step, the way in which discovery projects are systematically moved from initial ideas through the several stages required to generate potential drugs worthy of entering the clinic. Typical attendees include science-based professionals: biologists, molecular biologists, chemists, preclinical development scientists, informaticians, patent attorneys, project managers and general managers.

A two-day course.

The course is a ‘one-stop-shop’ outlining the major scientific tools of drug discovery, namely: Drug Discovery Biology, ADMET/PK/PD, Medicinal Chemistry, Informatics/Virtual technologies and how these contributions are phased over time and integrated to generate a drug suitable for clinical trials.

The focus is on small molecule drugs with comparisons made with biologics. Based on real-world experience and practical realities, attendees travel step-by-step along a typical drug discovery path, namely: Initiating Idea -> Drug Target Protein Selection -> Lead Identification -> Clinical Candidate Nomination. 

Essential related topics include drug discovery technology platforms, drug structural-functional quality attributes and Project management tools, namely Target Product Profile (TPP) use.

Key technology and infrastructure requirements are also covered in the course.
