Drug Discovery
Drug Development Product Management,
The University of California San Diego, Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Drug Discovery course brings you lectures from both faculty and industry experts. With this course, recorded on campus at UCSD, we seek to share our access to top people in the field who bring an unprecedented range of expertise on drug discovery. In this course you will learn the drug discovery process up to the filing of an Initial New Drug Application or IND. Each week you will learn the steps that a pharmaceutical or biotech company goes through to discover a new therapeutic drug. In this course you will be able to: * Understand the pharmaceutical and biotechnology market a changing landscape * Learn the major aspects of the drug discovery process, starting with target selection, to compound screening to designing lead candidates. * Recognize current modern drug discovery based on the lock-and-key theory, which attempts to use one single compound to hit one target to combat the related disease. * Increase understanding of the various drug discovery tools and methods that are used for finding, identifying and designing a new drug. * Define and understand the regulatory responsibilities for drug discovery to file an Investigational New Drug Application (IND). This course is intended as part 1 of a series: Drug Discovery, Drug Development (https://www.coursera.org/learn/drug-development) and Drug Commercialization (https://www.coursera.org/learn/drug-commercialization). We would highly recommend that you take the courses in order since it will give you a better understanding on how a drug is discovered in the lab before being tested in clinical trials and then launched in the market place.

drug delivery
Types of drugs are discussed, regulatory frameworks, as well as drug delivery and kinetics.
Good course to understand the topics and challenges pharma companies face during the drug discovery phase - now I know what people are "up to" in preclinical.Good intro to Pharma market environmentModule "Challenges in Fragment Based Drug Discovery" was a bit too science-focused as for people with no science / medical background Really loved last module - key concepts in drug delivery An up to date and precisely structured course for understanding network-based and fragmented drug discovery, Very good course Ver y useful course to learn the basics of drug discovery.
It taught me a lot about drug delivery and pharmaceutical methods.
Given that this is a technical domain, innovation would quickly outdate the information presented in modules such as the one on drug delivery systems.Overall, I enjoyed this course and feel that I am better equipped to get into my new role with a lot more confidence.Thank you Prof. Ettouati and Prof. Ma!
