Transform Your Career in Drug Development — Without Trial and Error

Are you a scientist, project manager, or pharmaceutical professional tired of learning nonclinical toxicology through costly mistakes and trial-by-fire?  This course compresses years of fragmented learning into practical, insider knowledge that transforms you from a task executor into a strategic leader. Learn to independently manage nonclinical programs from DC nomination to IND submission, avoid the hidden pitfalls that derail timelines and waste millions, and communicate fluently with toxicologists, regulatory teams, and CROs—without constant hand-holding or expensive consultants. Whether you're transitioning into nonclinical roles, overseeing tox programs, or simply tired of feeling behind in drug development discussions, you'll gain the decision-making confidence and technical fluency that typically takes senior professionals years to develop, positioning you as the cross-functional bridge-builder who accelerates programs and advances careers.

About Dessi

Dessi McEntee, MS, DABT is a board-certified toxicologist with over a decade of hands-on experience leading nonclinical development programs across biotech and pharmaceutical companies. As a fractional Chief Scientific Officer and nonclinical consultant, she's guided dozens of programs from preclinical research through IND submission and beyond—navigating everything from first-in-human studies to FDA meetings. Dessi has seen (and solved) the costly mistakes that derail timelines, waste budgets, and stall careers, and she's spent years translating complex toxicology into actionable strategy for cross-functional teams. Frustrated by the lack of practical, real-world training in nonclinical development, she created this course to give the next generation of drug developers the insider knowledge she wishes she'd had from day one—without the trial-by-fire learning curve or the $500/hour consultant fees.
