Course programme
- This course provides high-level foundation knowledge of the process of translating a new drug, formulation and/or delivery device from a laboratory setting to a final approved product. These contents are those required to students in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology, both at undergraduate and graduate levels, to enrich their knowledge and abilities for then working as pharmacists, but also at pharmaceutical industry, regulatory employees, advisory boards and higher degree students wishing to enter this sector. Major focus will be on drug developed for inhalation.
Didactic methods
