About This Course
Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Drug Development takes an analytics-workflow view across the whole development pipeline. You learn where data analytics and AI add value at each stage — mining discovery data, analysing preclinical and biomarker results, and handling clinical-trial data — and the methods that turn messy pharma data into decisions. The emphasis is the end-to-end analytics practice of drug development rather than any single technique. You finish able to reason about applying analytics and AI across the drug-development pipeline. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
