Drug Discovery Case Studies

1.5 Credits.

“Drug Discovery Case Studies” is designed to provide students with insights into the ever-changing landscape of drug discovery research by presenting case studies for various breakthrough drugs discovered since the 1940s. Each lecture selects a particular drug that has made a significant impact on patients’ lives and examines some key elements that have contributed to its successful discovery and development. The course is given by the lecturers that participated in “Introduction to Drug Discovery Research”. The final three lectures will be given by guest speakers who will present case studies on new drugs in which they were directly involved at the time of discovery and development.
