European Pharmaceutical Summer School

Summary

Learning in the academic surroundings of Cambridge University, you will benefit from both taught lectures and smaller practical sessions, where you will split into smaller groups and work through some of the typical hurdles in taking a drug to market. These practical sessions are not only an excellent way of understanding the issues your colleagues have to face, but also a great way of learning from the expertise of the other people in your group.

By attending this conference, you will be able to:

• Gain a deeper understanding of all areas of the industry
• Get to grips with the technical and clinical jargon
• Discover how your role in the industry integrates with those of your colleagues
• Understand how each division and department interface cross-functionally throughout the product development process
• Take part in a simulated case study, focusing on Prolocaine (a fictional blockbuster drug), from discovery through development to the marketing stage in a drug’s lifecycle
