From a Beaker to a Bottle: Overview of the Drug Discovery and Development Process for Small Molecule Therapeutics
ACS Webinars: Professional Growth Channel
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…

Dr. Ann Newman is a pharmaceutical consultant at Seventh Street Development Group, a consulting and training firm specializing in solid state chemistry and pharmaceutical development, who has over 20 years of large pharma and contract research experience. Dr. Newman received her PhD in chemistry from the Univ. of Connecticut and for the first ten years of her career performed characterization studies on a wide range of pharmaceutical systems at Bristol-Meyers Squibb, covering drug substance and product scale-up from late drug discovery to launch and manufacturing. From there she became VP of Materials Science at SSCI, Inc. where she was involved in characterization of API and drug product samples, crystallization and polymorph screen studies, salt and cocrystal selections, quantitative assays, amorphous and amorphous dispersion projects, and general problem solving for the pharmaceutical industry. As VP of R&D at Aptuit, she instituted a companywide R&D initiative over six global sites and covering areas such as API, preclinical (toxicology, safety, pharmacokinetics), formulation, solids, analytical, clinical packaging, and regulatory. She holds an adjunct faculty position in Industrial and Physical Pharmacy at Purdue Univ. and is an author/collaborator on over 100 articles, book chapters, and scientific presentations.

Dear Amy: We just checked the registration link and it is showing on our end. Can you please try again? Thank you. https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/201883427
Great presentation to gain a broad view of drug discovery and development.
This webinar was rich and very easy to follow for such an important and complex process. Great job. Questions session improved it so much. Excellent.
Dear ACS,
I have assigned to my chemistry class as homework the viewing of Beaker to Bottle. There seems to be a problem–I showed it to one of my classes on Friday but cannot access it today. Can you please check it again and let me know what I should do? The students who viewed it thought it very informative, so I would like the rest of the class who were absent for an AP exam to see it. Thank you.
Dear Sister Mary Albert. We have added the streaming recording to the site for your (and your students) viewing convenience. Thank you.

Dear Dr Ann, I’ve been looking for a simple presentation to self-develop myself in the industry and in particular this process; and this certainly is the best I’ve seen and heard. I last held a test tube at 13 and wasn’t much good at chemistry even then… I’m now 54 and recently joined a leading company in the industry as Sales Performance Manager without the necessary technical background. Thank you, Nigel Swain
