Drug discovery and development is a complex, step-by-step process that transforms a scientific idea into a safe and effective medicine. This webinar will provide an overview of the drug development pipeline, covering the key stages involved from early discovery to post-marketing monitoring.

Topics Covered:

• Target Identification – Identifying biological targets involved in disease.
• Target Validation – Establishing that the target is relevant and suitable for drug development.
• Lead Identification – Finding promising compounds or molecules that can act on the target.
• Lead Validation – Evaluating and optimizing lead candidates for further development.
• Preclinical Studies – Assessing safety, efficacy, pharmacology, and toxicity before human trials.
• Clinical Trials – Understanding the different phases of testing medicines in humans.
• Regulatory Approvals – Overview of the regulatory process required before a drug can enter the market.
• Post-Marketing Surveillance – Monitoring the safety and effectiveness of medicines after approval.

The session is designed to help participants understand how a potential drug progresses from an initial target to an approved medicine, along with the scientific and regulatory considerations involved at each stage.

Who Can Attend:
Medical, pharmacy, life-science, biotechnology, clinical research, and healthcare professionals, as well as students and anyone interested in drug discovery and development.
