This eLearning module will give you an understanding of the process used to develop drugs and why it costs so much to bring a new drug to your pharmacy.
You’re the newest member of the Quality Assurance department at CATT - the Center for the Advancement of Toast Technology. Your mission is to audit the company and determine if it’s SOPs, notebooks, equipment, personnel, reagent labels, and test animals are GLP compliant.
In this eLearning module you will learn about the federal and international regulations that protect human participants in research studies. You will also get to be a drug company auditor, reviewing research studies at clinics to see if the staff are following the regulations, and looking for

The Virtual Microscope Companion provides a self-guided exploration of a common laboratory microscope including its care, components, and usage. Learners can practice and test their knowledge in preparation for working with a real microscope.
In this program, we’ll look at the production of Green Fluorescent Protein. GFP is used as a biological marker, and when attached to a drug it can provide researchers with a visual story of where the drug goes. It's a fluorescent dye that's very well tolerated by most cells and doesn't interfere
