The process requires scientists with expertise in chemistry, biology, and medicine. This course focuses on four aspects of drug development. regulation - approval protocols for government regulatory agencies pharmacodynamics - how a drug affects the body pharmacokinetics - how a drug flows through the body lead discovery/optimization - the steps for finding and improving molecules as potential drugs The course closes with two case studies of molecules that have advanced through the development process and into clinical trials.Created by: Davidson College
