75973-01 - Seminar: Novel Innovations and Breakthroughs in Drug Discovery and Development (1 CP)
| Semester | fall semester 2025 |
| Course frequency | Once only |
| Lecturers | Robin Teufel (robin.teufel@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Drug Sciences cover a broad and highly dynamic spectrum of disciplines ranging from molecular and preclinical research, technical development, and clinical application to epidemiologic, ecologic and historic assessments. In order to provide students with an up-to-date insight into current topics in drug sciences, members of the faculty at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in collaboration with members of the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Freiburg (Germany) as part of a EUCOR-funded cross-border collaboration project invite local or international experts from academia, industry or clinics to give a presentation about their area of research/work. The general topic this year will be "Cross-Border Innovations in Pharmaceutical Microbiology: Biogenic Drugs to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance". |
| Learning objectives | The seminar series aims at fostering the students' knowledge about and awareness of current and emerging areas related to the discovery, evaluation and application of biogenic antimicrobial drugs to address emerging resistance. |
| Bibliography | There is no script available for this seminar series. Individual speakers may provide literature recommendations during their presentation. Copies of the seminar slides are not automatically provided; participants may need to approach the speakers if they are interested in obtaining slide copies. |
| Comments | There will be a total of four seminars, two in Basel and two in Freiburg. Participants have to participate in the two Basel lectures in person (27.11 & 04.12.) as well a travel to Freiburg on the 06.11 (travel fees by train will be covered), the second Freiburg event can be joined by Zoom (20.11). In addition, following the seminars on the 6.11 (in Freiburg) and 27.11 (in Basel), an Apéro for discussions and networking with the speakers and students from Freiburg is held. As the seminar series features external speakers, changes in the seminar schedule may occur. An up-to-date program of the series will be available on ADAM and announcements can be found on the department's event page: https://pharma.unibas.ch/de/news-events/ |
