How the Drug Discovery Industry Works

We are traveling to Manchester for our next BioLearn in-person course, which is kindly being hosted by Citylabs 1.0, Europe's largest academic campus. 


This course is predominantly aimed at non-scientists working within the Life Sciences industry in non-research roles, and is relevant for employees who are new to the industry or who have more established professional dealings within it.


In short, the course will focus on the structure and commercial environment of the biopharmaceutical industry and highlights the processes required to move a drug candidate from the discovery laboratory through to the marketplace.


If you work within a research role, this course will help you to become more attuned to the commercial environment of the Life Sciences industry, but please be aware that there will an element of crossover with your existing knowledge.
