Course content: - Introduction to “Drug delivery, Pharmacology, and Toxicology”
- PART 1: From basic to controlled drug delivery
- Pharmacokinetics of drugs
- Drug delivery systems: from basic to controlled
- Toxicity tests
- PART 2: Advanced drug delivery
- Targeting strategies and its clinical applications
- Barriers to overcome
- Toxicity of ‘new emerging compounds'
- PART 3: Preclinical Validation
- Preclinical validation using case studies
Learning goals: - The student has insight in the pharmacokinetics of drugs
- The student can explain different drug delivery systems typically used for drug delivery, including controlled release
- The student can explain active and passive targeting drug delivery and has insight in its potential applications
- The student has insight in (particle) toxicity of drug delivery systems and how to take this into account in validation studies
- The student has insight in the trajectory of validation studies and can relate the interplay between research and clinical phases (MHD/KBW/Elective course)

|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Presence at the Journal clubs and assignment(s) is obligatory. The evaluations consist of multiple parts. For all parts of the evaluation, at least a score of 8/20 must be obtained in order to pass the course. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Students who are unjustifiably absent from the journal club or assignment presentation receive an N-unjustified absence as a final grade for the course and have to attend the missed journal club/assignment in the next academic year to receive their final grade. The student needs to re-enrol in the course in the next academic year. In this case, partial grades can be transferred to the next academic year.
A student who achieves a score lower than 8/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive 'F - fail' as the final result. This final result is not tolerable. A student who scores at least 8/20 for all parts of the evaluation receives a score that is the weighted average of the different points. This final mark is tolerable. E.g., 8/20 + 16/20 = 12/20 (passed). |
