Developing a New Flu Prevention Drug
$17.95 – $130.95
How is a new drug developed and tested to make sure it is safe and effective?
Development of new drugs involves clinical trials – scientific experiments used to determine if a drug is both safe and effective.
- Conduct simulated laboratory tests and analyze data to determine if a new flu prevention drug is safe and effective.
- Learn about the clinical trials process and clinical research.
