Quote Paul Janssen Futurelab

Apply regulatory guidelines

Through the course I learned how to find and apply regulatory guidelines to evaluate nonclinical, clinical and quality drug data, which will help in my role as hospital pharmacist/clinical pharmacist in the review committee and as clinical pharmacological researcher.

Imke Bartelink, Hospital pharmacist/ clinical pharmacologist

Quote Paul Janssen Futurelab

Interesting insights

Very nice approach, all cases were well explained in the provided papers and the interviews always gave interesting insights.

Pierre-Eric Juif, Actelion, Clinical Development Online graduate

Quote Paul Janssen Futurelab

Out of my comfort zone

“I loved the ‘corporate finance’ bit, really out of my comfort zone, but it did give me so much more insight into the financial considerations in clinical development”

Meta Roestenberg, Leiden University Medical Center, Clinical Development Online graduate

Quote Paul Janssen Futurelab

Very helpful

The cases were very helpful, they brought the theory to life!

Dennie Tempel, Quorics B.V., Clinical Development Online graduate
