TOP REVIEWS FROM DRUG DISCOVERY
Recommended course for everyone who is interested in the process of Drug Discovery and overall working of the Pharmaceutical Industry. It is a little technical, but completely worth it!
This has helped me a long way, and I highly recommend this course to any aspiring student in Pharmaceutical Sciences. It made me understand Drug Discovery, as Chemical Engr Student.
This course will help me in getting an idea about research for new drugs and site targets ,as well as which route is effective for administration of what type of drugs.
Bastante interesante, me gustó que tiene diferentes enfoques, por ejemplo, tanto financieras como farmacológicas (entre otras). La información es bastante digerible.
