Drug Development Boot Camp

This annual Drug Development Boot Camp is an intense, fun, energized program for hands-on learning about the drug development process. The material presented will be reinforced with examples, case studies, puzzles, and workshops.

Participants are totally exposed in a very intensive drug development training program over the two days of the training. The training program places emphasis on Workshops. Participants are given opportunity to get hands-on experience in the key aspects of drug development, including commercial, regulatory affairs, preclinical efficacy, toxicology, CMC, and adaptive clinical trials design development. Participants must have at least 5 years of relevant experience. Early registration is encouraged because participants must complete pre-Boot Camp preparation.

Who should attend?

• Harvard University investigators
• Clinical investigators who would like to gain an understanding of drug development
• CEOs, CFOs, COOs of biotech companies
• Executives and scientists involved in the drug development process
• Regulatory affairs professionals, clinical research professionals, senior research scientists, toxicologists
• Academic scientists working in the area of translational medicine
• NIH/NCI investigators, researchers, scientists and drug developers
• Physicians who are new to the pharmaceutical industry

This is not an entry-level program. It is intensive and intended for executive-level individuals who make drug development decisions on a daily basis. The program is intended to help you avoid:

• Spending many years and huge sums of money developing a drug the market does not want and will not pay for
• Making costly mistakes throughout the development process
• Clinical hold situations which are extremely costly
• An inability to raise funds or to find an appropriate exit.
