Kurzbeschreibung | This course provides an overview over the concepts and processes employed in today's drug discovery and development. It has an introductory character but will also provide more detailed insights employing real life examples. The course combines lectures and interactive elements with active participation of the students. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lernziel | Students - Understand the drug discovery process and can explain major approaches and relevant technical terms (for details see lecture notes). - Understand and appreciate the content and timing of drug development process steps, development phases and decision criteria. - Understand the concepts underlying drug product development through all the phases from preclinical and clinical development to regulatory submission, approval and market launch. - Can differentiate between small molecule drug development and biological drug development. - Understand the most important differences for drug development and approval between the EU and USA pharma markets with regard to legal and regulatory requirements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inhalt | Course unit comprises weekly lectures covering the early phases of target and drug discovery (535-0901-01 S "From A to Z in Drug Discovery and Development I") with group work in the area of Drug Development (511-0000-00 G). The latter course lasts 2 full days (Days 1 and 2) and comprises both lectures and group work: inter alia an introduction to the entire suite of drug product development processes in the pharmaceutical industry, covering preclinical research and development, clinical development, regulatory processes and market launch. R&D support processes such as project management, quality management, pharmacovigilance and pharmacoeconomics will be covered as well as organizational and governance aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, important success factors for a later career in the pharmaceutical industry will be briefly discussed at the end of day 2 of the course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Kurzbeschreibung | The course is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed understanding of drugs and the pharmacotherapy of infectious diseases and cancer. The second part gives an overview of the field of pharmacogenomics and toxicogenomics with a special focus on the role of genetic polymorphisms in disease susceptibility, drug response and adverse effects. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lernziel | The course advances basic knowledge in pharmacology and toxicology. Special emphasis is placed on the interrelationship between pharmacological, pathophysiological and clinical aspects of drug therapy in the fields of infectious diseases and cancer. The course also provides an overview of the field of pharmacogenomics and toxicogenomics, with a special focus on the role of genetic polymorphisms in disease susceptibility, drug response and adverse effects. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inhalt | Topics include the pharmacology and pharmacotherapy of infectious diseases and cancer. In the field of pharmacogenomics and toxicogenomics, the course is focused on genetics, genome-wide association studies, examples of genetic variability of drug metabolism and drug responses, and the relevance of pharmacogenomics and toxicogenomcis for clinical drug development. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Skript | A script is provided for each lecture. The scripts define important and exam-relevant contents of the lectures. Scripts do not replace the lectures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
