Have you ever wondered how new medicines are discovered? Have you ever heard of “Phase 2 clinical trials” and wondered what that referred to?


Donal Gorman, PhD will be presenting on “An introduction to clinical trials”, based on his experiences working in the pharmaceutical industry for the past 7 years. He will provide an overview of the discovery and development stages of a new drug, ultimately explaining why it takes around 10 years and up to £2 billion to bring a new medicine to patients.
