Pharmaceutical Profiling to Product Design

Abstract

This module summarizes early pharmaceutical profiling, formulation design and market product development with content that is complementary to Drug Product Development and Industrial Drug Development courses. The recent trends in pharmaceutical field and real-life practical case studies from industry experts are of focus in this interactive course.

Objective

Students - understand technical development stages through the journey from molecule to pharmaceutical product - can define critical scientific and strategic attributes fitting to the nuances of early and late stages of drug development - can determine the product concept in relation to the given molecule roperties in perspective of the clinical needs - can apply reflective thinking utilizing real life experience based case studies - embrace team work and collaboration across the multidisciplinary interfaces for success

Content

This module is complementary and brings in early product development aspects leading to the full “Drug Product Development” topics that are covered in the compulsory course. Overall, it will provide both thematic overview and key considerations to make a drug molecule to a pharmaceutical product. Pharmaceutical development operates in a dynamic but fragmented environment wherein close inter-relation and collaboration of different skills & steps is the major driver for success.The following topics are covered: - Molecule profiling and evolving pipeline needs - Physico-chemical and biopharmaceutic principles - Pharmaceutical product development phases and its clinical interface - Target product profile in response to patient and market needs
