How to create a drug?

Attilio, a doctoral student in drug chemistry, explains to students all the steps involved in creating a drug.

Design: Attilio Di Maio, based on a game developed by ProgeLife
Home : from primary school

Starting point of the game: "You are a scientist who has discovered a new molecule potentially interesting to become a drug". From the choice of the molecule to the marketing and the pharmaco-vigilance, including the ethics of the development of a drug, the students discover, while playing, the other side of the drugs' story. Throughout the workshop, Attilio shares his knowledge of drug chemistry with the students and invites them to discuss ethical issues. Depending on the age of the students, discussions around financial issues and ethical questions can be deepened.
