Drug Discovery & Development

Learn the basics of drug discovery and development. The goal of drug discovery and development is to get a product to market. Prior to products being made available to consumers, the products must be approved by a regulatory agency as safe and effective. In the US the regulatory agency is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This course will explain the general drug development process and the role the FDA and Institutional Review Board (IRB) play in this process. To understand the biotech industry you must understand the drug development process and the role regulatory agencies play.
