Course Description:  A comprehensive course on the theory and practice of in vitro evaluation of drug properties including absorption, metabolism, drug-drug interactions, and toxicity.  The course is designed for novice practitioners who intend to apply in vitro ADMET assays in drug development and also as a refresher course for veterans of the field.  The lecture will end with an open discussion on the latest findings.  Students are encouraged to bring “real life” problems for discussion.

 

Length of Lecture:  ½ day
