In this course, you will learn more about the Research for Impact approach - a set of principles and practices that will help you to make your research more impactful. Traditionally, the goals and outcomes of research projects were to contribute knowledge and communicate this knowledge through academic publications and journal articles.

Medicine & Pharmacology

At some point in their life, essentially everyone needs to use medication for some type of disease treatment or cure. While medications offer great benefits, the cost of drugs, especially new drugs, and the lack of treatment for some diseases can raise questions about business activity behind the creation of new drugs. Better understanding of how drugs are discovered and developed as well as the legal and regulatory factors that affect the industry can help one better recognize both the shortcomings and opportunities faced by the drug industry at large.
