Biotechnology and Development of Therapeutics

This course will introduce students to the applications of biotechnology to the discovery and development of novel drugs and therapeutics. Students will learn about the process of drug discovery and development from target discovery, through drug optimization, preclinical testing, clinical testing, and commercialization. The course also offers a basic understanding of functions that work in parallel with discovery research and drug development, including business strategy, portfolio decision-making and program management. Finally, the course allows the opportunity to learn from, and connect with leaders from companies within the Biotchnology sector.
