14 Comments

Coursera.org offers 323 free online courses from major universities on a variety of subjects such as: Financial Engineering and Risk Management, AIDS, Introductory Human Physiology, Synapses, Neurons and Brains and more!

The Drug Discovery, Development & Commercialization course is offered by UC San Diego (Drs Williams S. Ettouati and Joseph D. Ma). Students will learn the process of drug discovery and development through specific examples of case studies to better understand the issues facing the challenges of delivering a new drug on the market. At the completion of this course you will be able to have a better understanding of how a small or large molecule becomes a pharmaceutical drug.

The Next Session starts Apr 19th 2013 for a 9 weeks long course.

Here is the syllabus and signup form.
