The How the Drug Discovery Industry Works
courses provide a comprehensive overview of the modern
pharmaceutical and biotechnology (biopharmaceutical) industries
using case histories to illustrate key points. Held in the beautiful surroundings of
Emmanuel College, Cambridge, the courses are relaxed and informal, with plenty
of opportunity for questions and discussion. No assumptions are made
about the level of delegates’ technical knowledge since this can
vary widely within the same group.
Two versions are available according to the delegate profile:
Course PG100 is designed for business professionals
who include managers and executives from a wide variety of backgrounds working
with the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. These include new staff within the industry itself,
personnel in university technology transfer departments, recruitment
organisations, sales and marketing professionals as well as legal
and financial firms.
Course PG200 is designed for technical translators and interpreters from all language specialisations who
undertake translation related to drug
development, clinical trials and marketing to doctors and patients.
The above courses introduce various aspects of drug discovery and
development, such as chemistry and biotechnology, but do not focus
on these subjects in great detail. This is why PharmaGuide has
introduced two new courses: PG300 Chemistry for translators
and PG400 Biotechnology for translators. Each one
is designed to explain the general principles behind these
technically complex subjects and to examine specific points arising
in technical documents such as patents.

"The training
was exactly what we wanted for our staff member who now has a rounded
appreciation of the pharma / biotech industry, understands the R&D process
and has a good understanding of the science behind the scenes. In her role
as a science recruiter she is now able to identify strong candidates by
intelligently spotting keywords and techniques on CVs whilst also
interviewing people at a more in depth, technical level. Fantastic results -
I can highly recommend PharmaGuide’s services."
Ajay Patel, Recruitment
Operations Manager, CK Science
“Shortly after attending the course I had a
meeting with one of our biotech clients who later complimented me on my
grasp of technical language. The day spent in Cambridge learning about the
drug discovery business was definitely worthwhile!”
Alex Malocca, Great Guns Marketing
"The course was packed with useful information, was
wide-ranging yet very focused, and professionally delivered. The catering
was very good indeed and the setting of Emmanuel College difficult to beat."
Sonia Cutler, Copy-editor, Proofreader, and Trainer
"I do recommend this
workshop. I attended last year and it was superb. Although he starts very
slowly, explaining basic chemistry concepts (which I knew as I used to be a
very good student and now I am just lazy), it gathers pace once it gets to
the drugs themselves. I can say I learned a lot and it has been a great help
as I do lots of work on clinical trials and clinical studies. It was worth
every penny."
Ana Luiza Iaria, MSc, MCIL, MITI.
