Technology in Drug Discovery:
Technology has played a significant role in advancing the field of drug discovery by enabling more efficient and effective methods for identifying and developing new drug candidates. Some of the key technologies used in drug discovery include:
Sessions:
Session 01: Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences
Bio-pharmaceutical sciences is a field of study that combines knowledge and principles from the fields of biology, chemistry, pharmacology and engineering to develop and design new drugs and therapies for the treatment of diseases. It involves the discovery, development and production of drugs and biologic's, as well as the study of how drugs interact with living organisms.
Session 02: Advanced Pharmacokinetics
Advanced pharmacokinetics is a field of study that builds upon the principles of basic pharmacokinetics to provide a deeper understanding of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized and eliminated by the body. It focuses on the quantitative analysis of drug concentration-time profiles in biological fluids, such as blood or urine, to predict drug behavior in humans.
Session 03: Pharmaceutical Sciences
Pharmaceutical sciences are a multidisciplinary field of study that encompasses knowledge from various disciplines, including chemistry, biology, pharmacology and engineering. It involves the design, development, testing and manufacturing of drugs and therapies for the treatment of diseases.
Session 04: Pharma Analytical Techniques and Instrumentation
Pharmaceutical analytical techniques and instrumentation refer to a range of methods and tools used to analyze drugs and pharmaceutical products. These techniques are critical for ensuring the safety, efficacy and quality of drugs and therapies. Pharmaceutical analytical techniques and instrumentation are essential in the development and manufacturing of drugs, as well as in quality control testing to ensure that drugs meet the required standards for safety and efficacy. Graduates of pharmaceutical sciences.
Session 05: GMP, GCP and Quality Control
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and quality control are essential components of the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of drugs and therapies.
Session 06: Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs
Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs is a field of study and practice that deals with the regulatory requirements for the development, manufacture and marketing of drugs and therapies. It involves ensuring that drugs are safe, effective and of high quality, while also complying with the laws and regulations of the regulatory agencies.
Session 07: Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety
Drug safety is a critical component of pharmacovigilance and involves the evaluation and monitoring of adverse events and drug interactions associated with the use of drugs. This includes the identification and reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and the assessment of their potential impact on patients.
Session 08: Pharmaceutical Industry
The pharmaceutical industry is a major sector of the healthcare industry that is responsible for the research, development and manufacturing of drugs and other therapies. The industry plays a critical role in improving public health by developing and distributing medicines that can prevent, treat and cure diseases.
Session 09: Drug Discovery
Drug discovery is the process by which new medications are discovered and developed. It involves the identification of potential drug targets, the screening of large libraries of molecules for activity against those targets and the optimization of compounds to improve their efficacy and safety.
Session 10: Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology
Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is the application of nanotechnology in the development of drugs and drug delivery systems. It involves the use of materials and devices at the nanoscale (1 to 100 nanometers) to improve the performance and properties of drugs, as well as enhance their delivery to specific target sites in the body.
Session 11: Medical Pharmacology
Medical pharmacology is the study of how drugs interact with the body to produce therapeutic effects. It involves the study of drug action, drug interactions, pharmacokinetics (the movement of drugs within the body), pharmacodynamics (the effects of drugs on the body) and the development of new drugs.
Session 12: Pharmacoeconomics
Pharmacoeconomics is a subfield of health economics that focuses on the economic evaluation of pharmaceuticals and the use of pharmacological interventions in healthcare. It involves analyzing the costs and benefits of drug therapies, including their effectiveness, safety and impact on quality of life and using this information to inform healthcare decision-making.
Session 13: Radiopharmaceuticals
Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain radioactive isotopes and are used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. They are designed to target specific organs or tissues in the body and emit radiation that can be detected by imaging equipment or used to destroy cancer cells.
Session 14: Pharmacy Practice
Pharmacy practice is the discipline of pharmacy that focuses on the application of pharmaceutical knowledge and skills to the provision of patient-centered care. It involves the dispensing of medications, monitoring of patient drug therapy and collaboration with other healthcare providers to optimize patient outcomes.
Session 15: Pharmaceutical Packaging
Pharmaceutical packaging refers to the materials used to contain and protect pharmaceutical products, including medications, vaccines and medical devices. The primary goal of pharmaceutical packaging is to ensure the integrity and stability of the product throughout its shelf life, from the time of manufacturing to the time of use.
