Learning Goals
1. Describe and justify the role and importance of the various disciplines involved in the different phases of drug discovery and development of pharmacological drugs.
2. Review and evaluate preclinical and clinical pharmaceutical studies with a general understanding of aim, choice of procedures, results, conclusions and importance.
3. Explain scientific, ethical and market-related considerations of importance in the development of pharmacological drugs.
4. Carry out searches in databases to retrieve information relevant to the development of a new drug.
5. Account for decision points in the drug development process.
6. Artificial intelligence in making early decisions on drug discovery and development.
7. Consider the regulatory requirements for the authorization of experimental drug products and for filling the MA file for non-biological entities.

Teaching Methods
1. Theoretical presentations
4. Autonomous research of pharmaceutical development strategies
5. Public presentation and discussion of applied pharmaceutical development.
The evaluation of the theoretical component, by continuous assessment of frequencies or final examination, will have a relative weight of 75%.
The evaluation of the monograph and its public presentation will have a relative weight of 25%. If and when it is possible to do all teaching in the classroom, the relative weight of the monograph will be reduced to 15% and 10% will be attributed to the attendance of students to all the components.
