How New Drugs Are Developed

Uncover the history of the FDA’s oversight of the development of new medications, and the evolution of a regulatory system created in reaction to cases like thalidomide. Dr. Lindsay McNair, a physician and research ethicist, will lead a discussion about the complex journey pharmaceutical companies take to develop new medicines, the rigorous process of submitting data to the FDA for review, and the decision making behind drug approvals.
