The topics taught are:

  • Preclinical efficacy tests in animal models
  • Preclinical safety assessment in animal models
  • Intellectual Property Rights and their role in starting up a company
  • Regulatory affairs
  • Clinical trials
Learning Outcome

On completion of the course, the participants should be able to:

 

Knowledge

  • have an understanding of how to develop and maintain large animal models of disease. What the pros and cons of such models are and the key elements of preclinical efficacy testing.
  • list major steps and elements of the preclinical efficacy and safety assessments in animals that enable the clinical drug development process
  • identify correct professional terms and key concepts in clinical development of medicines and the major disciplines that are involved in clinical development
  • understand the framework of intellectual property rights and how to safeguard the innovative potential of one’s discoveries
