PRX 3552 - The Pharmaceutical R&D Process

2 Credit Hours

This course is intended to provide students with a clear understanding of how new drugs are developed from the initial concept to the patient. The goal of the course is to provide an opportunity for individuals with an interest in the pharmaceutical industry to learn the processes required to discover and develop drugs. The course is delivered in a wholly online format using as a primary resource the Making Medicines course content developed by the Eli Lilly company and made available through their online web portal. Links to the Making Medicines material will be integrated into a Canvas shell, as a framework for the course, along with additional instructor assigned readings and videos. Students will provide weekly reflections and threaded discussions on assigned topics and will participate in a series of 8 weekly instructor-led webconferences. During the webconferences the material covered in the previous week will be reviewed and discussed and students will give presentations on focused topics related to pharmaceutical R&D.
