####Books
**- "The Pharmagellan Guide to Biotech Forecasting and Valuation"**
**- "Biotechnology Valuation", Karl Kleegan**: Chapter 3 is about the drug development process. You can also check Chapter 4 to learn how to build a disease model. However, read this book only if you already know valuation (DCF, comps), because the author uses quick-n-dirty or overly complex techniques that you shouldn't follow as an investment banker (he was an ER guy).

*How To Analyze a Clinical Trial:* not directly related to IB, but still interesting in order to understand how clinical trials work and the effect of their results on share price
