Introduction to Small Molecule Drug Discovery & Development
What does it take to advance a new drug from the laboratory bench to the patient’s bedside? Historically, drugs were discovered serendipitously and were usually isolated from natural sources. Today, drug discovery efforts take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. They also require the input of dozens of specialists from a multitude of backgrounds to ensure that therapeutic molecules are efficacious and safe. This four-week course takes a high-level tour of what it takes to research and develop a new drug. We will meet different scientists and professionals across the drug discovery value chain as we explore the different stages of discovery and development, including the different tools and technologies that are influencing how we think about new medicines today. Starting off with the needs of the patient and the early phases of drug discovery, we will cover drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics and drug safety all the way to clinical development and beyond. This course is relevant for scientists who are new to drug discovery research or already have some experience, health professionals, or anyone who is interested in knowing what had to happen to ensure that their medicine is effective and safe.

Covid-19 Death Medical Analysis & Visualization using Plotly
In this 2-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to build bar graphs, scatter plots, Choropleth maps and Wordcloud to analyze and visualize the global scenario of Covid-19 and perform medical analysis to various conditions that contribute to death due to Covid-19. We will be using two separate datasets for this guided project. The first dataset has been taken from worldometer and the second one has been made available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), United States. We will be using Python as our Programming language and Google Colab as our notebook. It is required for you to have a Gmail Account for this project. It is recommended to have some experience in the Python programming language but even if you do not have any prior experience in Python programming or medical science, you will be able to complete this project. This project is beginner-friendly. We will visualize the current global scenario of Covid-19 using bar graphs and scatter plots followed by geographical data visualization using Choropleth maps. Then we will dive into medical analysis. We will then visualize how Covid deaths vary with respect to age group and how various pre-existing medical conditions vary with age. Then we will visualize and analyze how various medical conditions contribute to Covid death. We will also compare the performance of all the 50 states in the US against Covid. In the final task, we will finish by creating WordCloud text visualization of various medical conditions and condition groups that contribute to Covid deaths. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
