While it is valuable to understand how and why pharmaceutical discoveries are successful, it is equally important to appreciate the common pitfalls/shortcomings that underly failed clinical trials. Here, we briefly summarize the Dos and Don'ts of drug discovery and the ways we may fundamentally improve on this essential process.
Write a Review Article With Your Topic of Choice
The goal of this project is to write a review article of a topic you choose by reading and summarizing primary literature. By letting your interests guide your project, it can really take any form you want and will develop organically. These types of projects are important to help grow a fundamental understanding of your topic of choice, but also be a useful resource for others who want a thoughtful synopsis from an expert in the field.
