Ever Wondered How Drugs Are Discovered?

What happens between identifying a target and delivering a life-saving treatment? How do molecules make the leap from laboratory concept to therapeutic reality?

Step into the world of drug discovery with Dr. Terry Kenakin, a veteran pharmacologist with over 40 years of industry experience. In this foundational-level lesson, Terry unpacks the real-life process behind discovering new drugs, breaking down the science into accessible, engaging insights for early learners and curious minds.

You’ll explore:

• What makes a “discovery team” tick (and why teamwork is non-negotiable)

• The difference between Me Too and First in Class projects—and why both are essential

• Why target-based discovery is powerful, but can miss the forest for the trees

• The critical importance of translation—turning lab data into meaningful therapeutic outcomes

Terry’s unique ability to combine storytelling, real-world experience, and scientific clarity makes this more than just a lecture—it’s a launchpad.
