MCTM 5913: Idea to Clinic I

This course is the first of a two-part series that will explore the scientific, regulatory and financial hurdles involved in translating laboratory breakthroughs into treatments that can improve human health. Students will follow an Investigational New Drug as it is taken through the pre-clinical development process, including localization studies using advanced imaging technologies, toxicology, kinetics, pre-clinical modeling and other tests a potential therapeutic undergoes prior to human trials.
