Drug Discovery Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that conducts research to create new drugs and trains people to lead drug discovery.
AboutAbout the lab
Learning drug discovery end to end, from basic science to practical use
The lab provides education mainly for students from non-medical undergraduate backgrounds who plan to work in drug discovery at pharmaceutical companies or universities.
Students learn the foundations of drug discovery in four layers: basic medical knowledge and experimental skills; the medical literacy needed for cutting-edge drug discovery; exercises covering everything from disease pathology to drug development; and topics ranging from iPS cell-based drug discovery to biobanks, clinical trials, intellectual property, regulatory affairs, and business models.
Over the five years of the master's and doctoral programs in Medical Science, students join the lab faculty's drug discovery research and the university's industry-academia collaboration projects, build their own area of expertise, and earn their degree.
