Week 4: Functional Genomics, Pharmacogenomics, routes of drug administration

Chapter 4: The drug development process. Page 64 to 74

In this week, we studied about the remaining technologies which can influence the drug discovery process 

  • Functional genomics
  • Phamacogenetics

Along with these technologies, we also studies about the initial product characterization and patenting process. we also extend our understanding to

  • drug delivery methods/routes of drug administration
  • Advantages and disadvantages of all routes of drug administration
  • Factors that affect the selection of choice of drug administration route
