Technology in Drug Discovery:

Technology has played a significant role in advancing the field of drug discovery by enabling more efficient and effective methods for identifying and developing new drug candidates. Some of the key technologies used in drug discovery include:

  • High-Throughput Screening (HTS)
    This technology allows researchers to quickly test large numbers of compounds for activity against a specific drug target, speeding up the discovery process.
  • Computational Drug Design
    Using computer simulations and modeling, researchers can predict the activity of a potential drug candidate and optimize its properties before it is synthesized and tested in the lab.
  • Genomics and Proteomics
    Advances in genomics and proteomics have enabled researchers to identify new drug targets and gain a better understanding of disease mechanisms, leading to the development of more targeted and effective therapies.
  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
    These technologies can analyze large amounts of data to identify patterns and relationships that may not be apparent to human researchers, improving the efficiency and accuracy of drug discovery.

Sessions:

Session 01: Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences

Bio-pharmaceutical sciences is a field of study that combines knowledge and principles from the fields of biology, chemistry, pharmacology and engineering to develop and design new drugs and therapies for the treatment of diseases. It involves the discovery, development and production of drugs and biologic's, as well as the study of how drugs interact with living organisms.

Session 02: Advanced Pharmacokinetics

Advanced pharmacokinetics is a field of study that builds upon the principles of basic pharmacokinetics to provide a deeper understanding of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized and eliminated by the body. It focuses on the quantitative analysis of drug concentration-time profiles in biological fluids, such as blood or urine, to predict drug behavior in humans.

Session 03: Pharmaceutical Sciences

Pharmaceutical sciences are a multidisciplinary field of study that encompasses knowledge from various disciplines, including chemistry, biology, pharmacology and engineering. It involves the design, development, testing and manufacturing of drugs and therapies for the treatment of diseases.

Session 04: Pharma Analytical Techniques and Instrumentation

Pharmaceutical analytical techniques and instrumentation refer to a range of methods and tools used to analyze drugs and pharmaceutical products. These techniques are critical for ensuring the safety, efficacy and quality of drugs and therapies. Pharmaceutical analytical techniques and instrumentation are essential in the development and manufacturing of drugs, as well as in quality control testing to ensure that drugs meet the required standards for safety and efficacy. Graduates of pharmaceutical sciences.

Session 05: GMP, GCP and Quality Control

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and quality control are essential components of the pharmaceutical industry to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of drugs and therapies.

Session 06: Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs

Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs is a field of study and practice that deals with the regulatory requirements for the development, manufacture and marketing of drugs and therapies. It involves ensuring that drugs are safe, effective and of high quality, while also complying with the laws and regulations of the regulatory agencies.

Session 07: Pharmacovigilance and Drug Safety

Drug safety is a critical component of pharmacovigilance and involves the evaluation and monitoring of adverse events and drug interactions associated with the use of drugs. This includes the identification and reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) and the assessment of their potential impact on patients.

Session 08: Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry is a major sector of the healthcare industry that is responsible for the research, development and manufacturing of drugs and other therapies. The industry plays a critical role in improving public health by developing and distributing medicines that can prevent, treat and cure diseases.

Session 09: Drug Discovery

Drug discovery is the process by which new medications are discovered and developed. It involves the identification of potential drug targets, the screening of large libraries of molecules for activity against those targets and the optimization of compounds to improve their efficacy and safety.

Session 10: Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology

Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is the application of nanotechnology in the development of drugs and drug delivery systems. It involves the use of materials and devices at the nanoscale (1 to 100 nanometers) to improve the performance and properties of drugs, as well as enhance their delivery to specific target sites in the body.

Session 11: Medical Pharmacology

Medical pharmacology is the study of how drugs interact with the body to produce therapeutic effects. It involves the study of drug action, drug interactions, pharmacokinetics (the movement of drugs within the body), pharmacodynamics (the effects of drugs on the body) and the development of new drugs.

Session 12: Pharmacoeconomics

Pharmacoeconomics is a subfield of health economics that focuses on the economic evaluation of pharmaceuticals and the use of pharmacological interventions in healthcare. It involves analyzing the costs and benefits of drug therapies, including their effectiveness, safety and impact on quality of life and using this information to inform healthcare decision-making.

Session 13: Radiopharmaceuticals

Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain radioactive isotopes and are used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. They are designed to target specific organs or tissues in the body and emit radiation that can be detected by imaging equipment or used to destroy cancer cells.

Session 14: Pharmacy Practice

Pharmacy practice is the discipline of pharmacy that focuses on the application of pharmaceutical knowledge and skills to the provision of patient-centered care. It involves the dispensing of medications, monitoring of patient drug therapy and collaboration with other healthcare providers to optimize patient outcomes.

Session 15: Pharmaceutical Packaging

Pharmaceutical packaging refers to the materials used to contain and protect pharmaceutical products, including medications, vaccines and medical devices. The primary goal of pharmaceutical packaging is to ensure the integrity and stability of the product throughout its shelf life, from the time of manufacturing to the time of use.

Speaker Guidelines

Organize Your Research

  1. State the hypothesis and purpose of your research.
  2. Describe your methods of investigation.
  3. Include data collected and what was learned.
  4. Give conclusions based on the collected data.
  5. Emphasize the significance and highlights of the research.

Shape Your Presentation

  1. Prepare notes that highlight the salient points of your talk.
  2. Practice the delivery of your talk, along with your slide sequence. Be sure your talk fits the time allotted.
  3. Use simple sentences. Avoid jargon, highly specialized vocabulary, and unfamiliar abbreviations.
  4. Think about questions you might be asked, and prepare your answers.
  5. Audio-visuals should amplify your talk, not duplicate it.
  6. Do not include music or film clips or other copyrighted content with your presentation unless it is directly relevant to your research. If you must include music, film clips, or similar content, please ensure that it is either open source or content for which you have copyright permissions to use. Optimally display your work—don't use words if a picture conveys it more clearly (graphs, tables, charts, etc.).
  7. Use line graphs to show trends; bar graphs to compare magnitudes; pie graphs to demonstrate relative portions of a whole.
  8. Make sure your supporting audio-visuals are concise, uncluttered, and easily read from a distance. We recommend that you use a font of at least eighteen points or larger. This is especially important in presentations to a virtual audience because screen sizes vary by user.
  9. Request special AV equipment early or it may not be available.
