3 day course in Biologics Drug Development (previous Kurs i läkemedelsutveckling)

When you have registered as a distance course participant you will receive a booking confirmation which says that you are placed on the waiting list, please ignore that information. The information is only for participants who want to participate in the traditional course. 
All practical information about the distance course will be sent approximately 3-4 weeks before the course.

Drug development of various types of biologic products is a complex and multidisciplinary process. The development integrates knowledge of the underlying disease, target identification, principles on biologics safety, planning strategy for toxicology and clinical studies incorporating the key aspects of manufacturing and controls. This three-day course provides insights into all parts that should be addressed to effectively develop new biologics, from discovery to product launch. The course will not only be offered as a traditional course but also as a distance course. Those who choose to attend online will have access to all streamed lectures for 1 month. Traditional participants also have the opportunity to add lectures online. The course is organized in cooperation with SwedenBIO.

Who should attend

The course is aimed for those involved in drug development of biologics (eg in small and medium-sized companies), and need a comprehensive picture of the complex development chain. During the course you will get insight on how to work in the different stages of development, what to think about and what pitfalls there are on the road. To get the most exchange of the course, it is an advantage to have a natural science background.

Lecturer

All lecturers have experience from drug development and most have worked with or in small drug development companies.
