On 8 December 2009, at the Chemistry Faculty’s end of year celebration held at the Department of Chemistry, Baldwins awarded a prize to the top achiever in the Issues in Drug Design and Development (CHEM 392) paper. The prize was presented to Margot Mulcahy. The aim of this prize is to reward excellence, promote intellectual property and encourage graduates to consider future employment in this area.
For the last 7 years, Baldwins Intellectual Property has been involved in the ‘Issues in Drug Design and Development’ (CHEM 392) course at The University of Auckland. This paper covers intellectual property and patent law in the pharmaceutical industry, an overview of the legal and regulatory framework for drug design and development, along with the clinical trials process, codes of practice, health and safety issues and case studies. Baldwins have provided lecturers each year to cover the intellectual property component of this paper. Baldwins lecturers for 2009 were Harriet Wilson, Patent Attorney and Sophie Thoreau, Solicitor.
Congratulations Margot!
