Drug Development – 3 day course

Drug development projects are often initiated by identifying treatment for a disease. The project usually contains a deep knowledge of the disease and the biological mechanism. However, in order to develop a drug for the disease, a broad knowledge of many different areas is required. This three-day course provides insights into all the parts that should be addressed to effectively target a drug project.

This course is available as a traditional and as an online course. The course is organized in cooperation with SwedenBIO.
