<< Objectives >>The current project aims to provide students with a course covering the drug discovery and development process as it occurs in the pharmaceutical industry. The theoretical part will cover most aspects of this process, while the practical exercises will focus on selected topics related to the expertise and laboratory equipment of the participating universities/UAS. Upon completion of the course, students will have a sound understanding of how new drugs are researched, developed, and tested.<< Implementation >>The theoretical part will consist of online lectures aimed at all participating students in the module and will include digital state-of-the-art tools to support the course content. Here, 3D visualization tools for biomolecules, in-silico approaches for target discovery, in-silico pharmacology, etc. will be used. For the practical part, laboratory exercises will be developed to match as closely as possible with corresponding research activities in the research-based pharmaceutical industry.<< Results >>The project will develop a module that maps the drug discovery research chain. In addition to the acquired expert knowledge, the students will gain insights into the different university cultures and the associated different research approaches. The international networking of the students will have a positive impact on their future career. Likewise, the networking of the lecturers will result in improved teaching skills and possible joint research activities.
