Drug Development

Healthcare and Medical

Drug development is the multi-stage process of bringing a new pharmaceutical from initial discovery through preclinical research, clinical trials, and regulatory approval to market. Scientists, clinicians, and regulatory professionals in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries work together on tasks like target identification, formulation, safety testing, and efficacy trials. The process typically takes many years and requires substantial investment due to high attrition rates and strict regulatory requirements.
