Careers Symposium:
The Drug Discovery Process:
Opportunities for Physiologists
(Sponsored by APS Career Opportunities
in Physiology Committee)
Organizers:
John H. "Wick" Johnson
James M. Norton
This symposium will cover the important
work of the physiologist in drug discovery and demonstrate how academic
collaboration with industry leads to new drug discoveries. The program will lead the audience through the drug discovery process
from discovery of the initial drug target, to the role of the academic
scientist, to the development of candidate drugs that have efficacy in a
disease model, to preclinical safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, to
various phases of clinical trials all the way to getting the new drug on the
market. Each speaker will highlight the unique career opportunities at all
levels for trained physiologists.
