What does it take to advance a new drug from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside? Historically, drugs were discovered serendipitously and were usually isolated from natural sources. Today, drug discovery efforts take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. They also require the input of dozens of specialists from a multitude of backgrounds to ensure that therapeutic molecules are efficacious and safe. This four-week course takes a high-level tour of what it takes to research and develop a new drug. We will meet different scientists and professionals across the drug discovery value chain as we explore the different stages of discovery and development, including the different tools and technologies that are influencing how we think about new medicines today. Starting off with the needs of the patient and the early phases of drug discovery, we will cover drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics and drug safety all the way to clinical development and beyond. This course is relevant for scientists who are new to drug discovery research or already have some experience, health professionals, or anyone who is interested in knowing what had to happen to ensure that their medicine is effective and safe.

My name is Nwamaka Edozie. I completed this course and here is my appreciation message. Thank you, Dr. Chibale, for your impactful work and efforts toward driving therapeutic advancement in Africa, especially in Malaria drug discovery. I appreciate your accomplishments, and it inspires me immensely. To Dr. Winks, you cannot imagine how much I enjoyed your beautiful voice and excellent clear communication skills. You inspire me. To Dr. John, you are amazing. I loved your smile. Thank you, Dr. Njoroge, for the great insight into DMPK processes. I am grateful to everyone who contributed to this excellent piece of work. I learned a lot.
It is very helpful for the students and working professionals who really want to learn about the process of small molecules drug discovery and development in pharma industry. Lessons by Experts in the subject and Realtime scientist. Thank you for the detailed course@ UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN, H3D Thank you all .
Pretty informative and well-made course. I appreciated the numerous, frequent panels and interviews that allowed for deeper and in some ways more personal insights into the whole process and environment

A better choice of speakers in terms of communication would be advisable, namely in terms of how to deliver a message there were some parameters such as clarity, word articulation, and voice fluctuations that could have been better. When certain of these parameters are not met, which happened in some of the modules, makes the learning task more difficult. Additionally, the panel discussions are irrelevant, they should be presented as a complementary source, not a primary source of learning since clarity, objectivity, and interest in the overall subject are only sometimes achieved. The most interesting modules were the ones that had a bit of science in them, such as equations and explanations of terminologies and how they are applied in drug development. Overall, I recommend this as an initiation step, however, improvements should be made in future courses.
