The challenge of maximizing drug safety and maintaining public confidence has become increasingly complex. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies must not only monitor but also proactively estimate and manage drug risk throughout a product’s lifecycle, from development to post-market.
Under the guidance and encouragement of the faculty members, students of the B. Pharmacy program actively participated. The primary objective was to ensure patient safety and public health by monitoring the safety of drugs and to minimize the risks
