Helsinki University’s International Master’s Programme in Pharmaceutical Research, Development and Safety (MPHARM) is close to another milestone: Our first graduates are soon to submit their theses.

With this letter, I am asking a professional researcher like you to point me to resources that would allow me to acquire the necessary expertise for such an endeavor. What would be suitable books or materials to study? I should also mention that I have access to all the significant scientific publishers via our university library.Thanks for our assistance,ShahidI received the above request via email a few months back.

The red flag in the above email is this sentence: “Therefore, I don’t need deep knowledge.“When treating most diseases, low-hanging fruits have been picked. There are two approaches when trying to reach the high-hanging fruits:
