The course will follow an intensive, all\u2010day, short\u2010course format for ten consecutive weekdays with faculty lectures and student project teamwork. The goal of the course is to teach students the multifaceted process needed to bring a drug from concept to market in the context of open\u2010ended, student\u2010driven, collaborative projects addressing real\u2010world problems in pharmaceutical development. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cem\u003ECourse syllabus:\u003C\/em\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003EClass Topics \u003Cbr \/\u003EMay 29 - Introduction to class and pharmaceutical development Elements of an IND and NDA Design and discovery of druggable molecules \u003Cbr \/\u003EMay 30 - From drug lead to drug molecule Project teamwork and communication \u003Cbr \/\u003EMay 31 - Target indication, patient population \u003Cbr \/\u003EJune 1 - Drug manufacturing scale up and GMP \u003Cbr \/\u003EJune 4 - Formulation, route of administration, drug delivery systems \u003Cbr \/\u003EJune 5 - Design of IND\u2010enabling studies: CMC, PK\/PD and toxicology \u003Cbr \/\u003EJune 6 - Clinical trial design \u003Cbr \/\u003EJune 7 - Pharmaceutical marketing \u003Cbr \/\u003EJune 8 - Oral presentations and reports \/ business plan \u003Cbr \/\u003EJune 11 - Final presentations\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPartial list of confirmed speakers: Ajay Banga (Mercer), Andy Bommarius (Georgia Tech), Mark Prausnitz (Georgia Tech), Jaipal Singh (Emory\/SJTRI), Charlie Thompson (Axtria), Wes Wynens (Georgia Tech) and others.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ENew Course on Pharmaceutical Development: From Drug Lead to Drug Product\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A new, interdisciplinary short\u2010course for doctoral students engaged in pharmaceutical research at Atlanta-area universities."}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2012-03-15 12:11:49","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:58:25","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-05-29T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2012-06-11T22:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-06-11T22:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-05-29 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-06-12 02:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-06-12 02:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
