MCTM 5912: Idea to Clinic

This course will explore the scientific, regulatory and financial hurdles involved in translating laboratory breakthroughs into treatments that can improve human health. Students will learn about the pre-clinical development process, including pre-clinical modeling and other tests a potential therapeutic undergoes prior to human trials. Students will also learn about the clinical research trials process, including the requirements for first-in-human trials, through the phase II and III trials that are required to bring a drug, biologic, or device to market.
