MSF13 – Cell Signalling and its Importance for Drug Development

Description

As medical writers, some knowledge of molecular biology (including cell signalling) is important in order to understand the molecular mechanism of action of a drug, which is the fundament for many clinical development programs.
The aim of this workshop is to introduce basic concepts of signal transduction, how this knowledge can be used to develop new drugs, and how details about cellular signalling are described in regulatory documents and manuscripts.

Participant profile: Any regulatory medical writer looking to understand the basics of cell signalling and how it can be used for modern drug development.
Ideally, participants will have taken workshops MSF9 (The Fundamentals of Genetics for Medical Writers) and MSF1 (Pharmacology for Medical Writers: the Basics) or have an equivalent knowledge, but the basic concepts required are included in the pre-workshop assignment as a reminder.
