Track 2: Drug Design and development

Therapeutic development refers to the process of bringing a new drug molecule into clinical use. In its broadest sense, this encompasses all processes from the initial research phase of identifying

Commercial introduction. It is divided into four stages, each with its own significance: stage 1 discovery and development occurs in second stage preclinical research, stage 3 clinical development occurs in stage 4 Food and Drug Administration review. The ultimate goal of drug development is to bring a novel chemical to market with a proven therapeutic benefit.
