Course Objectives The aim of this course is to provide background and insight into the managerial, technical and regulatory aspects of pharmaceutical product development, which in today’s world is stemmed from genetic engineering applications. From this perspective, design of experiments on pharmaceutical product development using molecular biology, genetics and bioengineering techniques will be covered. In addition, extra information will be given on the validation studies and manufacturing technologies as well as regulatory affairs.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Explain the main managerial steps in pharmaceutical development.
  • Discuss the technical and managerial challenges in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals.
  • Describe the regulatory frameworks and approvals needed before the launch of a pharmaceutical product.
  • Explain the basics of a pharmaceutical development/production quality control.
  • Compare the development processes of currently used successful pharmaceuticals.
Course Description This course describes the managerial process of pharmaceutical product development with examples and case studies by highlighting the technical and regulatory challenges.
