From a Beaker to a Bottle: Overview of the Drug Discovery and Development Process for Small Molecule Therapeutics
Ever wondered what it takes for a molecule in a laboratory to become an approved drug on the market? It has been estimated that it costs over $1Billion to bring a drug into the market. The drug discovery and development process is a high risk but exciting endeavor akin to finding a diamond in a coal mine. Join us as Ann Newman, of Seventh Street Development Group, shares her decades of experience and provides you with an overview of the process. Learn how chemistry is making a valuable impact in the drug discovery industry.
“From a Beaker to a Bottle: Overview of the Drug Discovery and Development Process for Small Molecule Therapeutics” A short presentation followed by Q&A with speaker Ann Newman, Ph.D, of Seventh Street Development Group, specializing in solid state and pharmaceutical services consulting and training. This event will be moderated by Karen Rossi, a scientist with over a decade of drug design experience in various therapeutic projects at Bristol Myers Squibb and DuPont Pharmaceuticals.
What You Will Learn
- The complex scientific and regulatory process needed to get a new drug on the market
- How long it takes, how much it costs, and the odds of getting one new drug approved
- The animal trials, clinical trials, and human volunteers needed to test a new drug
- How generic drugs are approved and the role of patents in the regulatory process
- And much more…
