Description

The goal of healthcare is to achieve a cure for diseases and a better quality of life for patients. Investing in research is important, but so is having specialized professionals"

##IMAGE##

Increased investment in research in the healthcare field to improve the quality of life of patients means that more and more professionals specialized in this field are needed. Hence the importance of expanding information in all areas of research. 

This postgraduate certificate in Drug Research and Development is designed to specialize professionals from different health branches in pharmacological research, a fundamental facet to find new treatments that allow the improvement of patients.  

In this way, students will delve into the study of preclinical drug research, i.e., from the discovery of a molecule with therapeutic activity until it is marketed. Another very important part of this process is to know how to communicate new discoveries, which will allow further research in this field and promote its use.  

Within the field of research, the professionals must also be equipped with statistical notions that will enable them to conduct clinical trials as accurately as possible. Statistics play a fundamental role in any clinical trial, from the design, conduct, analysis and reporting, in terms of controlling and minimizing bias and confounding factors, as well as measuring random errors.  

The use of statistics in clinical trials allows the clinical investigator to reach reasonable and accurate conclusions from the information collected, and to probe decisions when certainties are scarce. Statistics are key to preventing errors and biases in medical research. Therefore, the inclusion of this module in this program is noteworthy.

Expand your knowledge through this postgraduate certificate in Drug Research and Development that will allow you to specialize until you achieve excellence in this field”
