Pharmaceutical Protein Drug Development

You will work on designing experiments to analyse if the biological drug has the predicted effect and in-depth formulate which indication you should treat and which diagnostic tools can be used to find the right patient group. They will also develop a target products profile (TPP) for the drug candidate and based on this formulate a quality TPP. With this base, they will learn more about analytical tools that can be used during the process development of a drug and also gain an understanding of how the drug and/or its effects can be measured in biological samples by e.g. mass spectrometry.

A case-study seminar, focussing on the tumours micro-environment and therapeutic targets, will be used to engage the students in developing ideas of different strategies for how one can use biological therapeutics to target solid tumours, as well as understanding how one can employ combination therapies to good therapeutic effect. One additional case-study will also be used to help the students gain an understanding of how biological therapeutics can be used to treat autoimmune and immunodeficiency diseases.

The course will be supplemented with lectures focussing on health economy, epidemiology, ethics and regulatory aspects related to biological therapeutics, as well as new types of biological therapeutics.

Includes ATMP-related components.
