CRDI is coordinating expertise across its partner academic institutions and beyond to develop and deliver resources for research training. Development of one such resource, e-Learning, is a current priority area for CRDI. The Case Studies in Drug Discovery & Development, coordinated by Prof David Brayden (UCD), introduces the concepts involved in the drug discovery and development process in the pharmaceutical industry and provides case studies of both small molecule and biotech molecule development from discovery to market.

This CRDI course is accredited 2.5 ECTS credits in TCD and UCD. The course content will be examined thereafter by online MCQ for attendees wishing to claim ECTS credits and/or a CRDI Open Badge.
