Description: Drug development is often a long and complicated process. From the initial phase, with the research and discovery of molecular targets, to tests with human beings, in later phases, drug tests constitute an innovation process where great care needs to be taken. It comprises one of the most laborious and costly processes of discovering new things.This course is an introduction to the drug discovery process, explaining from the initial phases, such as in vitro tests, the difference between phenotypic and mechanistic tests, through animal tests, with the main difference between used animal models, to the tests clinics in human beings, with explanations about different drug discovery situations, such as specific contexts for cancers, for infectious diseases. The course has a session dedicated to the development of vaccines, with a certain emphasis on how COVID-19 vaccines work, for example.The course is divided into the following sessions:1- Introduction2- In vitro tests: testing compounds in cells3- In silico tests - computational analysis helping the process4- In vivo tests - experiments on laboratory animals5 - Clinical tests - Tests performed on human beings6 - Introduction to vaccine development7 - Extra sectionThis course is an introduction to the drug discovery process, explaining from the initial phases, such as in vitro tests, the difference between phenotypic and mechanistic tests, through animal tests, with the main difference between used animal models, to the tests clinics in human beings, with explanations about different drug discovery situations, such as specific contexts for cancers, for infectious diseases, and also the development of vaccines, with a certain emphasis on how COVID-19 vaccines work, for
