• This course covers four (4) real cases where adverse study outcomes or taxing sponsor interactions required problem solving and resolution.  These will highlight the importance of understanding the basics: product qualities, pharmacology and clinical applications, which, when thoroughly understood, allow us to design minimized, but translationally strong nonclinical research.  Working with the sponsors to understand the pressures they are under, and patients they are trying to help, forms a bond that proves to them that we care as much about their drug as they do!
