“Drug Discovery Case Studies” is designed to provide students with insights into the ever-changing landscape of drug discovery research by presenting case studies for various breakthrough drugs discovered since the 1940s. Each lecture selects a particular drug that has made a significant impact on patients’ lives and examines some key elements that have contributed to its successful discovery and development. Three lectures will be given by guest speakers who will present case studies on new drugs in which they were directly involved at the time of discovery and development. The final three lectures will be devoted to presentations by three teams of students. No prior knowledge in drug discovery is required. This course is recommended for students in the 2nd or subsequent years of their graduate program and medical school as well as postdoctoral fellows and faculty members interested in drug discovery research. Canvas will be used to communicate with students, share course materials, make announcements, and post grades..
