Skip to 0 minutes and 5 seconds Have you ever wondered how you could free the world from diseases. You can do it by using a revolutionary approach such as the use of biotechnological drug. You don’t need to be a superhero, you just have to know how to use Technologies well. I am Patricia Poverino de Laureto and I’m a professor at the University of Padova and together with my colleagues we will lead you in this journey. Biotechnological drugs are complex structures compared with conventional drugs, since they are mainly based on peptides, proteins and nucleic acid.
Skip to 0 minutes and 43 seconds Indeed conventional Pharmaceuticals are chemical synthesis product while biotechnological Pharmaceuticals are biological products obtained in live cells. The amazing idea of Designing drugs like this is that by using sophisticated Technologies we can achieve the Target and generate life saving therapies. Products and processes are at the heart of our course. You will study Cutting- Edge Technologies to get to the final product and how to handle the procedure to obtain them. Together we will learn the development process that goes into a biotechnological drug from ideation to production and application. We will go through it one step at a time. This
Skip to 1 minute and 38 seconds course is organized in three weeks: in the first week we will start learning the process of drug Discovery using a combination of computational ,experimental, translational and clinical models that are based on knowledge of a biological Target. In the second week we will focus on the steps that go into a biotechnological drug from the production to its applications. Finally in the last week by adopting a molecule center view we will explore in depth what is important for the characterization of the biotechnological drug. By the end of this journey you will finally understand that pharmaceutical biotechnologies are much more than science in a lab.
Skip to 2 minutes and 19 seconds You don’t need to be a superhero to change the world, technologies will be your superpower, especially you can fine-tune them according to your creativity, your skills your research. Join us and find out how!
