Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
This intensive course, held during three weeks in January (13 class days), covers principles of pharmacology and their translation into new drug discovery and development. Students participate in project groups, composed primarily of graduate students, to propose a drug development strategy from target choice through clinical trials. Most sessions include lectures, panel discussions, and/or case studies presented by Harvard faculty and faculty experts from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; several sessions provide scheduled time to work on the group project with expert facilitators from industry. Evaluation is based on written and oral presentations of the group project and on class participation. Enrollment may be limited.
Course Notes
Attendance at all sessions is mandatory, and students are expected to spend most afternoons preparing for the following day’s sessions and working on the group project.
