Gray’s Academy is an online school of drug development formed to make it possible for large numbers of scientists, business people and others to learn about drug development without the usual costs and loss of working time associated with traditional courses.

The approach has proven popular in pharmaceutical (eg AstraZeneca) and biotech (eg ACImmune) as well as academic settings. Shorter and longer courses are available and may be supplemented by web based teaching and case studies. Learning is rapid, effective and enjoyable. Groups or companies may be cost and time-effectively educated working through distance learning supplemented by web seminars and exercises done in a group after each module.
