Preclinical Safety: From In Vitro Assays to Human Dose Predictions (edX)

Medicine & Pharmacology

Drugs are approved based on their “safety and efficacy”. Determining the safety of a drug occurs through studies that are largely completely separate from efficacy studies. The safety studies fall under the umbrella of preclinical safety. While a drug’s therapeutic benefit is typically narrow and well-defined, the potential safety risks of a compound can be very broad. Preclinical studies therefore search broadly in order to reveal any possible safety issues in a compound. Safety studies ultimately determine dosing limits for clinical trials as well as the final approved drug product.

An introduction to the emerging field of global healthcare quality. Access to healthcare services is critical – but is it enough? We are at a critical inflection point in global health. We have seen improvements in access to care, but struggle to improve human health. A key component of this equation is quality of care. Improving access to healthcare is only as useful as the quality of care provided. Many agree that quality is important – but what is it? How do we define it? How do we measure it? And most importantly, how might we make it better?
