Drug Development Pharmacology

Defining the manner in which an active molecule or pharmaceutical intervention interacts with a receptor or biological process is usually the basis from which the medicine development process is initiated. It is essential that a shared set of pharmacological principles are used from medicine discovery through to medicine development and beyond. This allows multidisciplinary teams, often comprising chemists, pharmacologists, regulators and clinicians to work effectively. The focus of this module is to clarify the basic pharmacological principles that underpin drug development and apply them to a range of therapeutic areas in order to give participants a sound working knowledge of drug action. A series of case studies will be used in the module to highlight different aspects of drug pharmacology and provide an up-to-date context in which to examine the principles of drug-receptor interactions.
