About the Course

Peptides represent a rapidly evolving area of biomedical research and clinical interest. Peptide molecules participate in diverse physiological signalling pathways, and a growing range of peptide-based therapeutics has been investigated across different areas of medicine. The evidence, regulatory status and degree of clinical development vary substantially between individual peptides and proposed applications. This course is an introduction to practitioners encountering peptides in professional and public discourse. What are they? How do they work? Why are they being used? How can I minimize risk to my patients and me?

Why Healthcare Practitioners Should Understand Therapeutic Peptides

PATIENTS ASK PRACTITIONERS ABOUT PEPTIDES

Patients are increasingly encountering information about therapeutic peptides through clinics, online sources and social media. Healthcare practitioners may therefore need sufficient knowledge to discuss the evidence, uncertainties, risks and regulatory considerations associated with their use.

PEPTIDES CAN AFFECT MULTIPLE HEALTH & DISEASE PROCESSES IN BIOLOGY

Peptides are a broad class of naturally occurring and synthetically developed molecules involved in diverse biological signalling processes. Individual peptide-based therapeutics differ substantially in their mechanisms, evidence base, regulatory status, safety profile and potential clinical applications. 

LEARN ABOUT PEPTIDE RISKS

Peptides exhibit diverse safety and efficacy profiles that vary substantially between compounds, indications, formulations, and regulatory status. This program reviews the current evidence, reported benefits, known risks, adverse events, and areas of uncertainty.
