Nonclinical Academy is the most comprehensive online education platform for nonclinical drug development.

Founded by Dessi McEntee, MS, DABT — a board-certified toxicologist and Fractional Head of Toxicology — Nonclinical Academy exists to make nonclinical drug development accessible, practical, and career-changing.

Our flagship program, The Complete Guide to Nonclinical Development, is a 12-module course that takes you from candidate nomination through IND submission. It's taught entirely from the sponsor side, by someone who has actually run the studies, written the reports, and worked with FDA reviewers.

The course is offered in three tiers — Foundational, Professional, and Executive — to fit where you are in your career and how deep you want to go. Executive members join the Inner Circle: a private Slack community, monthly office hours, and exclusive access to Dessi. 

Whether you're a biotech founder navigating your first IND, a project manager translating between scientists and regulators, an early-career toxicologist preparing for the DABT, or a CRO professional wanting to better serve sponsors — this is built for you.

Master nonclinical drug development. Launch your career.
